FOX Nation hosted its seventh annual Patriot Awards on Thursday, Nov. 6, honoring First Lady Melania Trump with the Patriot of the Year Award in recognition of her efforts supporting military families and public service initiatives and to Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with the inaugural “Charlie Kirk Legacy Award.” The ceremony took place at The Tilles Center for Performing Arts in Brookville and featured live performances, presentations and tributes celebrating American patriots.
Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany Aldean, joined FOX News Channel’s Jesse Watters to present the award to Kirk, commemorating her late husband’s dedication to free speech, faith and family. Following the presentation, Aldean performed live renditions of his hits “Try That in a Small Town” and “How Far Does a Goodbye Go.” FOX News Channel personality Sean Hannity, a Long Island native, served as master of ceremonies, introducing surprise speakers, honorees and guests throughout the evening, including a visit from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
