As noted in the article:

Sen. Steve Daines, a Montana Republican, and Rep. Lisa McClain, a Michigan Republican, introduced legislation shortly after the attack to award the service members with Congressional Gold Medals. It passed both chambers in the fall of 2021 and was signed by Mr. Biden that December. Both Daines and McClain participated in the ceremony and delivered brief remarks.


I bet Trump can't name a single one of these 13. I notice the CBS article does nor bother to either, but it sure quotes a lot of Trumpers praising Trump.
