Presidential Medal of Freedom for Parkland Hero Anthony Borges.
Anthony Borges, a student from Parkland High School, is a real hero. He used himself a human shield in the Parkland massacre, and while gravely wounded, he still managed to barricade the door. He took five bullets in doing so, but he is credited with saving 20 of his classmates. If he were in the military, he would be eligible to receive the Medal of Honor.
His heroism can nevertheless be recognized with the civilian version, the Presidential Medal of Freedom Herein, we respectfully request that President Trump to please do so.

I have finalized the formal letter to the White House requesting a review of this nomination. My next step involves coordinating with local representatives to ensure this documentation reaches the appropriate office for consideration.

Kid saved 20 people using himself as a shield and took 5 bullets Give the kid a medal
There should be no question, this is the kind of behavior we should all aspire to emulate.
He wasn’t afraid lose his own life. He did this for his own reasons. Not many would do this.
I might be Canadian, but he did a great service, and he saved the lives of his classmates.
True bravery right there. The guy deserves every honor coming to him because he put his friends before himself. Total respect.
Good job kid
He is a true hero.
