More than a dozen Medal of Honor recipients publicly endorsed Donald Trump on Monday, hours after he spoke to hundreds of National Guard members at the association's annual conference.

Among the 14 veterans who offered the Republican presidential nominee their support, 11 served in Vietnam War, while the other three served in Afghanistan, Korea and World War II, respectively.

"Their service spans 75 years, four conflicts, and four branches of the U.S. military," the Trump campaign noted in a press release.

Woody Williams, Bob Simanek, Bennie Adkins, Pat Brady, Sammy Davis, Hal Fritz, Michael Fitzmaurice, Robert Ingram, Jim Livingston, Bob Patterson, Mike Thornton, Leo Thorsnes and Leroy Petry were listed as the endorsers.

In a statement, Trump called the gesture a "tremendous honor" and thanked the group for having faith in him as the potential next commander in chief.

"These soldiers are the personification of courage under fire; they are the best of us all," he said in a statement. "Their honorable service to our country is an inspiration to every one of us and is a reminder that America has been the world's most indispensable nation because of the great character of our people."

Trump received the support of 88 retired generals and admirals last week shortly before he and Hillary Clinton squared off in the first ever Commander in Chief Forum on defense.
