President Donald Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired four-star Army General Jack Keane, the White House said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The award presentation of the highest civilian honor in the country will take place next week.<\/p>\n

Keane, 77, served as the U.S. Armys Vice Chief of Staff from 1999 to 2003 and directed 1.5 million soldiers and civilians in 120 countries. He also provided oversight and support for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and was in the Pentagon when terrorists slammed a plane into the building on Sept. 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

Earlier roles in Keanes 37 years in the Army include his service as a paratrooper in the Vietnam War and in U.S. engagements in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo.<\/p>\n

Keane has earned a number of awards, including two Defense Distinguished Service Medals, five Legions of Merit, two Army Distinguished Service Medals, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and the Ronald Reagan Peace through Strength Award. Keane retired from active duty in 2003.<\/p>\n

Keane is currently a foreign policy and national security analyst for Fox News. He told Fox News<\/a> that he was \u201cshocked and overwhelmed\u201d when Trump told him he would be receiving the award.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly, I told him I dont think I deserve it, to be honest with you. And [Trump] said, You know, someone told me that you were going to say that,'\u201d Keane said of his conversation with the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of love in my life and a lot of purpose and meaning associated with trying to protect this country as a soldier and then trying to also advocate for the security of the country as a retired general officer and foreign policy and national security analyst,\u201d Keane told the broadcaster.<\/p>\n

He is also the chairman of the board for the Institute for the Study of War, a U.S.-based think-tank on defense and foreign affairs issues.<\/p>\n
