President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Medal of Sacrifice to three fallen Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office officers—Corporal Luis Paez Jr., Deputy Ralph Waller Jr., and Deputy Ignacio Diaz—during a May 19 ceremony. The officers died in November 2024 after being struck by a driver while assisting a disabled motorist. Their families attended the Oval Office event, where Trump expressed gratitude for their sacrifice.
A viral moment emerged when Trump interacted with Diaz’s daughter, Alexandria, who appeared solemn during the exchange. Online reactions were mixed, with some interpreting her demeanor as discomfort, while others defended her grief. Trump praised the officers’ bravery, stating, “We will never forget their legacy.” Sheriff Ric Bradshaw highlighted the unpredictability of the tragedy, noting the deputies had no chance to avoid the fatal collision.
