President Donald Trump has shown time again how much he appreciates the men and women serving in the United States military, and a speech he gave to Marines last week was no different.
Trump delivered the message of gratitude Friday to the Marines of Helicopter Squadron One, the group that flies and maintains the presidential helicopter, Marine One, while on a visit to the Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, Virginia.
“(F)or more than half a century, Marine Helicopter Squadron One has served as one of the most visible symbols of the presidency. Today, there are few sights more awe-inspiring than Marine One flying up the Potomac — true, incredible — past the Washington Monument and landing on the South Lawn of the White House,” he said, according to the White House.
“It’s an incredible privilege to take that flight,” he noted.
That kind of statement from the president, coming after the eight years of the Obama presidency, and a commander in chief who too often showed too little respect for the men and women in uniform under his command, had to shake up the military — and in the best way possible.
Trump spoke at length about how much he appreciate the Marines who have cared for him and his family since he took office.
“A Marine is often the last person I see when leaving the White House and the first upon my return. Nothing is more reassuring,” he said. “And my pledge to you is that I will have your back just as you will always — and have always — had mine.”
The president also announced that he had recently signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act, which authorized major investments in weapon systems, equipment, and “most importantly,” he said, in the servicemen and women themselves.
“I’m pleased to report this legislation also includes the largest pay raise you have received in more than eight years,” Trump told the group.
He also commended them for their role in fulfilling his campaign promise to “make America great again.”
“(W)e’re making America great again,” he said. “And it’s people like yourselves that are doing it. I am so impressed.”
He later tweeted about his visit, thanking the group for their “sacrifice and service” on behalf of the entire nation.
“I am honored to serve as your Commander-in-Chief,” he wrote
It’s great to see such mutual respect between the president and the brave men and women who protect him and our country. We’re glad to have a leader in the White House who is not afraid to let the military know how much they are appreciated.
