FULL TITLE...............'Thank you, Jane': Trump gives gratitude to tearful widow of slain Army sniper and honors deceased son of Gen. John Kelly, others who made 'ultimate sacrifice' in emotional Memorial Day tribute at Arlington..................President Donald Trump honored those who lost their lives serving the nation as he participated in a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery Monday and told emotional stories of just a few who perished.

'Here at this hallowed shrine we honor the noblest among us – the men and the women who paid the ultimate price for victory and for freedom,' Trump told a crowd of families, military personnel, and dignitaries at Arlington on Monday in his first Memorial Day speech as president.

'We pay tribute to those brave souls who raced into gunfire, roared into battle and ran into hell to face down evil. They made their sacrifice not for fame or for money or even for glory, but for country,' Trump said.

We will never forget the men and women who gave their lives for the USA. From the 8,000 Americans killed in our Revolutionary War, to the almost forgotten Barbary Coast Wars,
to those serving and sacrificing themselves today. To those who all loved freedom and ending strife more than self.
Thank you.

“Among those whose stories Trump shared was Army Specialist Christopher Horton, an Oklahoma Army Guard member who died in Afghanistan. He was a sniper known ‘as one of the best shots anywhere at any time,’ the president said, but died during a deployment in 2011 at the age of just 26.”

I put flowers on my cousin Harold's grave today. He died in Vietnam in 1969, he left behind a wife and child. ☹

Trump has been caught up in a whirlwind of activity for weeks now. I would be quite tired. He seems to be going strong.

Today he has taken time to meet with some families visiting the graves of their loved ones.

You know, we don’t pause enough to remember, think of the sacrifices made, and lives surrendered on behalf of our nation. This was all done for you and I folks, our families, communities, and nation.

At this moment thinking of Trump’s actions today, I want to salute and thank all our Veterans here on Free Republic.

I appreciate your service to our nation folks.

Thank you very much.

For “known” stooges of Putin, the President, Tillerson & his cabal are pretty damn good actors………

At least he didn’t see the ghosts standing in the background, as BHO did in 2009.

That is true. The Daily Mail kicks the butts of the entire U.S. media with their Trump coverage. The quality of their online photos and videos is stunning. Even though they appear to be more of an entertainment/celebrity publication, they run circles around the NYT, WashPost and others. The U.S. media should be ashamed.
