Well, thank you, everyone. Thank you to that incredible choir and band, and thanks to General
00:11
Cain and Secretary Hegseth for your powerful words. Thank you, most importantly, for everything
00:16
that you do for our nation's warfighters and for those who have given their lives to this country.
00:23
We remember you today, and certainly to our Gold Star families who are so thrilled and
00:30
so grateful to have you with us in attendance. This is a sacred place, an eternal resting spot
00:38
for our nation's sons and daughters. We gather in solemn commemoration of their sacrifice and
00:47
a sacrifice made by all those who gave up their lives in service to our beloved country.
00:54
In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson laid the cornerstone of the Memorial Amphitheater we gather in today.
01:03
Now, buried within it was a copper box which contained mementos of profound significance to
01:10
the amphitheater's designers and to our entire country. There were four things, an American flag,
01:16
a Bible, a copy of our Declaration of Independence, and a copy of the U.S. Constitution.
01:24
And the objects they chose to dedicate to posterity, those Americans remind us of the values we hold
01:31
timeless and dear as a nation and as a people. But those values didn't spring from any stonework
01:38
or time capsule. They were lived out day after day by the people buried in this hallowed cemetery.
01:48
Each life honored here in Arlington was once full of the ordinary moments and quiet dreams,
01:56
of early sunrises, of good days and bad days, of celebrations and disappointments. They stood
02:06
not apart from us, but among us. Ordinary men and women who chose to shoulder an impossible burden.
02:14
And when we consider what they gave to us, it's common, of course, to focus on their deaths. On the
02:23
courage to give in that moment what very few are willing or able to sacrifice. But the real tragedy
02:31
of the loss is not in a single moment of suffering as our Gold Star families know well,
02:37
but in all the future moments, they and their families lost. Every moment between their sacrifice
02:45
on the battlefield and what would have been a natural death. Because we know they sacrificed not
02:51
just their physical life, they sacrificed the moments that make that life worthwhile. They sacrificed
03:00
a child's embrace. They sacrificed walking their daughter down the aisle, of seeing their
03:06
husband or wife after a big promotion of sharing a meal with the family at Thanksgiving.
03:13
For my fellow Americans, especially those watching on television, consider the sum of all the moments
03:19
that make a good life. And now appreciate that countless strangers, people most of you never met,
03:27
they gave up those moments in their own life so that we could enjoy them in ours. And that is what
03:35
Memorial Day is all about. I once heard a Marine Corps Colonel that I served with, he said this in 2005,
03:43
not long after a very tough deployment to Iraq. He said this about his fallen men, that they were the
03:50
best looking, they were the kindest, they were the smartest, they were the most devoted. They were the very
03:58
best of us. To them, we owe everything. And today, in the peace they bequeathed us, we honor them.
04:09
As the Book of Wisdom tells us, but the righteous one, though he die early, shall be at rest. For the age
04:17
that is honorable comes not with the passing of time, nor can it be measured in terms of years.
04:26
They laid down their lives for Americans they would never meet, for generations yet unborn,
04:32
for a nation that would not exist absent their incredible courage. Now, we know their families in
04:40
particular have given so much. And in particular, I want to speak to the Gold Star families, to the
04:46
families who have lost a son, a daughter, a husband, or a wife, to every child here who misses your dad or
04:53
your mom. Know that your loved one to us is a hero. And though we cannot know your pain, please know that
05:02
I speak for the entire nation when I say that we are grateful to them and to you for a debt none of
05:09
us can possibly repay. Now, all of us will honor the fallen and their families in our own way. But
05:17
allow me to suggest two ways of honoring their sacrifice, two ways that I try to honor their sacrifice
05:23
every day. First, we ought to commit ourselves and expect from our leaders to treat the lives of
05:32
our troops as the most precious resource. The very best way to honor the fallen is to only ask the next
05:51
generation to make the ultimate sacrifice when they absolutely must. We must be cautious in sending our
06:00
people to war. The second way that I try to honor the fallen is to commit ourselves to being worthy of
06:10
their sacrifice. If you're a husband, be the best husband you can be. If you're a mom, be the best mom
06:17
that you can be. If you're a citizen, be the very best citizen that you can be. Because together, let us
06:24
build a better country, a more perfect union and strive to be the kind of nation worthy of the sacrifice
06:32
of the people that we honor today. On this Memorial Day, let us remember that we have been given a great
06:38
gift, often by people none of us ever met. Let us cherish that gift and make ourselves worthy of it.
06:45
May God bless those who gave that gift, and may he bless the country they sacrificed for. Thank you.
07:04
And now, without further ado, let me please introduce your president, the people's president,
07:15
the president who knows what these men and women, what they sacrificed for, and who honors them every
07:23
single day in the job that he does. President Trump.
