NEW: The family of fallen Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis receives a call from President Trump, telling them their son would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor.
Ollis was killed in Afghanistan in 2013 when he shielded a Polish army officer from a su*cide bomber.
Ollis saved the life of Karol Cierpica, who became the father of a baby boy shortly after.
Cierpica named the boy 'Michael' in honor of Michael Ollis.
"Your son is gonna get the highest honor that you can have. There's no higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor," Trump said on the call.
