Large amount of gas deployed in Los Angeles; everyone running from area.
Vice President Vance: This evening, as we celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army, the oldest branch of the greatest fighting force ever known to man, I want to say to all the soldiers, all across our nation's capital, and all across the world, Happy Birthday, Soldiers, we're proud of you. You represent an unbroken line of greatness, of excellence.
President Trump: Thank you to the greatest, fiercest, and bravest fighting force ever to stride the face of this Earth, the United States Army. The Army keeps us free, you make us strong, and tonight you have made all Americans very proud.
President Trump: Over the past two and a half centuries, our warriors have shown unriveled valor, on fields of battle around the globe. With the frostbitten feed, and bloody fist, they have arched into the flames and fury of combat, charged up mountains, stormed beaches, waded through torrents of gunfire, and lept into skies thick with smoke and shrapnel. The U.S. Army has driven bayonets into the heart of sinister empires, crushed the ambitions of evil tyrants. Beneath the threads of American tanks, it's done so well, it's done so much, and sent the devil himself flying into full retreat.
President Trump: And tonight, we affirm with unwavering certainty, that in the years ahead, and in every generation hence, whenever duty calls, and whatever danger comes, the American Soldier will be there. No matter the risks, no matter the obstacles, our warriors will charge into battle. They will plunge into the crucible of fire, and they will seize the Crown Of Victory. Because the United States of America will always have the Grace of Almighty God, and the Iron Will of the United States Army.
Incredible finale!
Does not make sense to say Israel usurped the peace talks, since the attack happened when the deadline President Trump set was reached.
