It is our sacred duty to support America’s Service Members every single day they wear the uniform – and every day after when they return home as Veterans. Together we will HONOR those who defend us, we will CHERISH those who protect us, and we will celebrate the amazing heroes...

you couldn't believe him one bit, and that he acted like a petulant child while reading his statements. It is pathetic and doesn't give the event the respect it deserves.

ensure the veterans are receiving their due of the GI bill. Veterans are at huge risk of losing everything because the VA can't get them paid because the systems are too old. BS. Trump needs to apply those hugely get it done powers and fix that asap. The talk about honor and cherish.

Lol. More like 666.

He seems unable to understand why his behavior is such a target for derision.
and when his staff try to tell him, he ignores them.

Short Preces: Seems they changed the law, but didn't include any money to update their computer to accommodate the changes. Oh, and they haven't had an IT Director since the last one resigned when tRump got elected.

Although a majority of the military vote Republican, they're putting up with Cadet Bone Spurs until he leaves or impeached.

It was an honor to retire when President Obama was in office and to have his signature on my certificate. It's a damn shame to see the military used like pawns.

Anyone who thinks he has any respect for us is living in a parallel universe.

He respects no one.
