"Sergeant Mowreader, you are to receive the Medal of Honor from President Trump at the White House."

"Sir, when Captain William Loren McGonagle of the United States Navy was awarded the Medal of Honor for saving the USS Liberty after the Israelis tried to sink her during the Six Days War, the Secretary of the Navy presented him the Medal at a classified ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard. It's the only Medal of Honor in American history presented in secret and not presented by the President."

"So why are you telling me this?"

"Because I don't want Donald Trump's hands around my neck. Can you do the same thing that was done for Captain McGonagle for me?"
