2026 was a year that provided many obstacles. There were so many people who deserved the award of “Man of the Year.” However, as our many editors through up their hands in choosing one, it became evident that a difficult decision was fraught with perplexity.

Many names were thrown out, President Donald J. Trump, Charlie Kirk, and those brave men and women of the U.S. Air Force who flew B-2 Bombers in operation, “Midnight Hammer.” A mission in the idead of night that took out Iran’s nuclear facilities.

So in the end, we came to a consensus, all three of the above deserved the award. Congratulations to them and their families on a job well done. God Bless them and the United States.
