Fox News personality Johnny “Joey” Jones added another major honor to his name this weekend and his acceptance speech was as humble as it was powerful.
The Big Weekend Show co-host was presented with the John R. Tex McCrary Award for Excellence in Journalism at the 2025 Patriot Award Gala in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The black-tie celebration was hosted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.
The event, emceed by actor Gary Sinise, recognized Americans who embody patriotism, leadership, service, and sacrifice. Jones fit all of those qualities and then some.
Taking the stage before a room filled with decorated heroes, the retired Marine staff sergeant spoke with emotion and gratitude. Later, on The Big Weekend Show, Jones reflected on the honor of being in the same room with 32 Medal of Honor recipients.
