President Trump [Arlington National Cemetery]: This morning on these hallowed grounds, where generations of American heroes rest in eternal glory, we gather to fulfill the sacred duty of every free man and woman. On Veteran's Day, we honor those who have worn the uniform, who have worn the battle. Who have stood to watch, and who's ranks have formed a mighty wall of flesh and blood, bravery and devotion, that has defended our freedom for two hundred and fifty years.
President Trump: The pages of American history are filled with the tales of titans, icons, innovators, and trailblazers who built this county into the greatest, most ambitious, and most prosperous nation the world has ever seen.
President Trump: Everything we have, everything our country has achieved, has been purchased by the muscle, spine, and steel of the United States Military. We owe it all to the fierce and noble men and women of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the United States Marines.
President Trump: Under the Trump administration, we're restoring the pride and the winning spirit of the United States Military. That's why we have officially renamed the Department of Defense, back to it's original name, Department of War,
President Trump: From the very beginning of our country, our Great American Flag has always been shielded and protected by a special cast of citizen who has stepped forward to safeguard liberty's cause. When danger came, when duty called, when All-Mighty God asked who had the will and the strength to defend the land of the free, each and every American Veteran stood up and said, 'Here I am. Send me. Here I am.' They've come from every corner of this nation. From the cornfields of Iowa, to the hills and valleys of California, from the steel towns of Pennsylvania, to the vast plains of Texas, from the banks of the mighty Mississippi, to the five boroughs of New York City, with selfless commitment and unyielding conviction, they made themselves America's ramparts and became the shield between our homeland and those who would do us harm. With everything they had, they did one thing above all else. They put America First. On the decks of destroyers, beneath the thunder of cannon fire, and the cockpits of our beautiful B-2 bombers, that in an instant, completely obliterated Iran's nuclear capability, of which we have just ordered many more of the updated versions of that incredible piece of art; they defended the American Republic, dispensed American Justice, crushed the enemies of freedom, and vanquished the forces of wickedness and evil. Because of what every Veteran has done, today the Flame of Liberty shines bright, the people of our nation sleep safe, the American Dream surges forward, and our magnificent destiny stands more splendid and glorious than ever before.
