Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, a Utah Marine killed in Afghanistan, will soon be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
President Joe Biden signed a bill Thursday that will honor Staff Sgt. Hoover along with 12 others who died when a bomb went off in Kabul during the evacuation of thousands of people in August. Utah Representative John Curtis co-sponsored the bill.
This award will recognize these brave men and women so that they can be forever honored for their sacrifice.
