Herschel has been “serving as an Ambassador to our Nation’s youth, our men and women in the Military, and athletes at home and abroad” for decades, according to Trump.

Walker, a former NFL great, is now a philanthropist, businessman, and Heisman Trophy winner.

“Herschel has traveled to over 400 Military installations around the World, removing the stigma surrounding mental health,” Trump said in reference to Walker’s work raising awareness of mental health issues.

“As a member of the U.S. bobsled team, he represented the United States at the 1992 Winter Olympics,” Trump continued.
