About the Patriot Awards

The Patriot Awards, launched by Fox Nation in 2019, celebrate individuals who represent American patriotism, courage, and service. The event acknowledges “everyday American heroes” from diverse backgrounds, including the military, public service, and community leadership.
Key award categories include:

Heroism Award
Young Patriot Award
Salute to Service Award
Most Valuable Patriot Award

The Patriot of the Year remains the highest distinction, awarded to those whose actions inspire unity and service to the nation.

Why Melania Trump Was Selected

Melania Trump received this year’s award for her commitment to protecting children and families. She played a key role in the passage of the ‘Take It Down Act’, a federal law banning the creation and sharing of AI-generated explicit images without consent.

It was the first time a First Lady co-signed federal legislation.
The bill received bipartisan support and addressed the growing issue of digital abuse and non-consensual imagery.
Her advocacy made online dignity and safety a central topic of national discussion.

Humanitarian and Global Diplomacy

Melania Trump has also been active in international humanitarian work:

She spoke about Israeli women held hostage during the 2023 Hamas attacks.
She advocated for reuniting Ukrainian children separated during the war.
She even wrote a peace letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin urging cooperation to end child displacement.

Her actions reflect her ongoing efforts to promote compassion, peace, and family unity beyond political boundaries.

Highlights from the 2025 Ceremony

The 2025 event introduced a new honour — the Charlie Kirk Legacy Award, dedicated to the late conservative activist. During her acceptance speech, Melania Trump encouraged Americans to “celebrate those who dare to think differently”, describing courage and innovation as the true pillars of patriotism.

Fox News host Sean Hannity praised her “quiet dignity” and behind-the-scenes diplomacy, calling her a “symbol of grace and public service.”
