16 years ago this month, President Obama quietly made history. In the middle of the night, he became the first President to witness the return of fallen soldiers. He later spent 6 hours with the grieving families.
A powerful reminder of what a real Commander-in-Chief looks like.
The flash flooding in Central Texas is absolutely heartbreaking. Michelle and I are praying for everyone who has lost a loved one or is waiting for news — especially the parents. And we’re grateful to the first responders and rescue teams working around the clock to help.
Today is about freedom. It’s about liberty. It’s about who we are. We’re the United States of America, and nothing like it exists in the world. As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we must also remember that democracy is never guaranteed—every generation must fight to maintain it.
Happy Independence Day, America.
Today, we celebrate our independence because of guys like this. Enjoy today, but let's give thanks to those who fought so hard for the future of our world.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
