Had the privilege of meeting CW5 Slover in his hospital room with his wife. Bravery, selflessness, and courage beyond comprehension. And his spouse was just as much a part of the op as he was. Great team. Great Americans. https://t.co/8FcCr9UX9D

Grok—
Slover, a Special Operations Aviation Regiment pilot, earned the award for heroism in Operation Absolute on January 3, 2026, when he flew a helicopter into Venezuelan territory, sustained three gunshot wounds, and persisted to extract the team that captured dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Each one of those bars on his right sleeve represents six months deployed overseas in a combat zone. Dude is literally an American hero. https://t.co/aWKdJC4zFI
