I HAVE YOUR BACK tells the story of America's newest Medal of Honor recipient. The book also pays tribute to SSG Ollis' remarkable family, friends & fellow soldiers. Many of us pushed for Michael to receive this award & tonight, our mission is complete. 🇺🇸 (4/4)

Very proud of our 6-year-old daughter Natalie, who has Trisomy 21, a.k.a. Down Syndrome. Is it sometimes tough raising a child with special needs? Of course, but the world is a kinder, gentler & happier place because of people like Nat. We love her! #NATitude

Austin showed up in a big way. As part of the Steel Across America tour, the 9/11 WTC steel stopped at the @longcenter, a place that has long brought people together through arts, culture, and community. Yesterday, it also became a place of 9/11 remembrance.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their stories, and helped honor the promise to #NeverForget.

At 10:17 p.m. ET on May 27, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces. This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz. All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas.

U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression.

Today in Tampa, I outlined the Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes plan that will eliminate taxes on homesteads. 

Property tax revenue collected by local governments has nearly doubled in the past seven years (from $32 billion to $60 billion) and is expected to reach an astounding $83 billion by 2032.

Florida homeowners need relief. Now is the time to stand up for taxpayers, enact a historic reform, and save the home of every Floridian.

I’m in Warsaw on Memorial Day, but thinking of the Ollis family back home. Their son, Army SSG Michael Ollis, was killed in Afghanistan when he rushed forward to stop enemy insurgents who had launched a complex attack on Forward Operating Base Ghazni in Afghanistan.

As he was engaging the enemy along the perimeter, an insurgent came around the corner. Ollis positioned himself between the insurgent and a Polish soldier he was fighting alongside with, who was wounded in both legs and unable to walk. Ollis fired upon the insurgent, who detonated his suicide vest. Ollis gave his life to protect that of a fellow Coalition soldier.

I got to meet his wonderful parents Bob and Linda Ollis, as well as his amazing sisters, who never stopped fighting for Michael to receive the Medal of Honor, which he did posthumously in March from President Trump.

Today is to recognize the sacrifice of all our fallen heroes like Michael Ollis, whose life and legacy is not only celebrated within the U.S., but here in Poland as well.

On Memorial Day, I wanted to share photos of fallen heroes I've had the honor of writing about in books. All of them had loving families, loyal friends & big dreams, yet they were willing to give that up for us. Let's do our best to live lives worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸 (1/7)
