WASHINGTON (TNND) — President-elect Donald Trump has
picked a well-known television host and Army veteran
officer to serve in his Cabinet.

Trump has selected Fox News host Pete Hegseth (44) to
serve as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth currently co-hosts
"Fox & Friends Weekend."

Hegseth is an Army combat veteran who deployed to Iraq
and Afghanistan. He was decorated with two Bronze Stars,
as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his service.

Pete Hegseth was previously the executive director of Vets
for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America.

"Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a
courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through
Strength’ policy," Trump wrote.

Robert MacNeil, formerly the anchor of the evening news program
now known as "PBS News Hour," died Friday of natural causes at
New York-Presbyterian Hospital at 93.

On March 6, 1981, CBS Evening News anchor Walter
Cronkite signs off with his trademark valediction,
"And that’s the way it is," for the final time.

Over the previous 19 years, Cronkite had established
himself not only as the nation’s leading newsman but
as "the most trusted man in America," he was a steady
presence during two decades of social and political
upheaval.
