The Patriot Awards, an event aimed at honoring military veterans, first responders, and everyday heroes, was hosted by Sean Hannity. This year’s ceremony featured the newly established Patriot of the Year award for 2024. Originally set to be hosted by the controversial Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, the event shifted to Hannity after Hegseth left Fox to take up his nomination.

During the awards ceremony held in Long Island, New York, Fox Nation named President-elect Donald Trump as the Patriot of the Year. The event, which started in 2019, celebrates individuals who exemplify patriotism and dedication, according to Fox. At 78 years old, Trump took the opportunity to highlight his successes in recent elections and expressed his strong affiliations with Fox, stating, “You have incredible people at Fox.”

The ceremony also saw Trump announcing his incoming administration’s appointments, which include David Sacks as the “AI and crypto czar” and former U.S. Senator David Perdue as ambassador to China. Other accolades presented that evening included the Culture Warrior Award and the T2T Stephen Siller Back the Blue Award. Last year did not feature a Patriot of the Year category; past honorees included the founders of the education advocacy group Moms for Liberty and noted author James Patterson.

In a notable upcoming engagement, Trump announced his plans to attend the reopening of the historic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, signaling ongoing public engagements as he prepares for his forthcoming administration.

This event showcases the continued recognition of patriotism and dedication among individuals who serve their communities, paving the way for future involvement and honor for those risking their lives for others. It reflects an ongoing commitment to highlight and reward the efforts of ordinary heroes in society.
