First Lady Melania Trump will take center stage this Thursday as she’s honored with the Patriot of the Year Award at the annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards, streaming live on the Fox Nation app at 8 p.m. ET, November 6. The event will be hosted by Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
The Patriot Awards celebrate the everyday heroes, service members, and citizens whose dedication embodies American values of courage, faith, and freedom.
Melania Trump’s Continued Public Engagement
Over the past year, Mrs. Trump has remained an active and influential voice in public life. In March, she participated in a Capitol Hill roundtable on the Take It Down Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at stopping the spread of non-consensual intimate images online. The measure passed with strong support from both parties and was signed into law on May 20.
In April, she delivered remarks at the International Women of Courage Awards, spotlighting women worldwide who demonstrate resilience and leadership—among them Amit Soussana, an Israeli lawyer who survived 55 days in Hamas captivity after the October 7 terrorist attacks.
A Legacy of Leadership
The recognition follows last year’s Patriot of the Year honor for President Donald Trump, whose speech capped off a remarkable year that saw him survive an assassination attempt, overcome politically motivated prosecutions, and win back the presidency. “We’re going to do it again,” he said in his remarks. “We have to do it again. We’re going to be very proud of our country again.”
Star-Studded Night of Patriotism
This year’s awards promise to be a night of music, reflection, and American pride. Country music star Jason Aldean will perform his hit “Try That in a Small Town” along with “How Far Does a Goodbye Go.” Aldean and his wife Brittany will also present the inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, honoring her courage and leadership following the tragic death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, who was killed during a speaking event in Utah in September.
In addition to the top honors, Fox News personalities will present awards including the Young Patriot Award, Benjamin Hall “Honor” Award, Stephen Siller Courage Award, Salute to Service Award, Most Valuable Patriot Award, and Heroism Award—all celebrating Americans who exemplify bravery, faith, and love of country.
