The White House Correspondents’ Association will honor Secret Service Officer Victor Gonzales and Washington Hilton staff with the President’s Award for Exceptional Service for their roles in stopping an armed gunman who disrupted the April White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with the rescheduled dinner set for Friday. Gonzales ran toward the threat, was struck in his vest but helped prevent the gunman from advancing, while Hilton staff preserved meals and aided guests after the interruption.
