Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Honor on Friday to an Army Ranger who led a dramatic hostage rescue in Iraq in 2015. No matter what they said, no matter who ordered him to do it, he wouldn't do it. He was the last one out," Trump said during the medal ceremony at the White House. "You truly went above and beyond the call of duty to earn our nation's highest military honor." The firefight marked the first time US forces stepped into combat against ISIS in Iraq, one US official said in 2015.
