Coming in at #7: Video: Atkins Family Live on Fox and Friends |

Why not name the school mascot in honor of Staff Sgt Travis Atkins, a Medal of Honor recipient, by honoring him and all of his fellow 10th Mountain Division mountaineer soldiers that he gave his life for? Jeff Krogstad grew up with Travis Atkins, and attended the White House ceremony with the Atkins family. He's encouraging the community to name the mascot for the new high school as the "Mountaineers." He joined us on our statewide radio show Montana Talks to discuss the idea.

The family of Staff Sergeant Travis Atkins will be back home in Bozeman Friday afternoon. On Friday morning they joined Fox and Friends to remember their son, and his heroic sacrifice that led to his awarding of the Medal of Honor at the White House earlier this week.

While catching up with Sen. Daines on Thursday, we also got his reaction to the Green New Deal vote, the Mueller report news, and more.

President Trump will posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant Travis Atkins, a Montana native, at 2PM Mountain time. Click below to watch the event live from the White House. Once the event is complete, the video should also remain for later viewing.

"Travis Atkins is an American hero. He embodies what it means to selflessly serve. As someone raised in Bozeman public schools, I can’t think of someone better to name our new high school after, as well as the VA clinic in Bozeman." – Senator Steve Daines

On March 27th, Staff Sgt. Travis Atkins will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President Trump at the White House. I've heard this idea from fellow veteran friends on both the Left and the Right: Hey, if Bozeman is looking for the name of their new high school, why not name it after a great war hero who gave his life for this country- and hails from Bozeman, Montana? I concur- what a great idea.

We heard the news earlier this week that a Bozeman, Montana native will receive the nation's highest military honor. His family was featured in this incredible video produced by the US Army. Watch the full video below.
