“We owe our liberty, our self-government, the glories of our history and our very nation itself to the generations who paid for it with everything they had - the ultimate sacrifice.”
No Mr. President. We owe it to God.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled President Trump: Today we are reminded that there could be no Fourth of July without America's armed forces, and there could be no Independence Day without Memorial Day. [TRANSCRIPT and 2 minute video address], Hardshell wrote: “We owe our liberty, our self-government, the glories of our history and our very nation itself to the generations who paid for it with everything they had - the ultimate sacrifice.”

This is only an excerpt of a longer address; I may have truncated his remarks about God's blessing on us. President Trump has attributed our country and its blessings to God's grace elsewhere. I think in context he was speaking about those Americans who stood between the rest of us and destruction, many dying in the process.
God told his people not to make peace with evil, but to stand against them and fight. He promised He would be with them in battle. Those who would not fight, and those who compromised with evil were given over to slavers and their swords. But those nations who remained faithful and fought evil were blessed. I think Trump is calling attention on Memorial Day to those among us who obeyed God.
