Productive discussions with John Jovanovic of @EximBankUS and Ben Black of @DFCgov on the sidelines of the #TIIF2026.

We focused on deepening industrial and financial cooperation, advancing a joint investment platform, and unlocking new opportunities for growth. Encouraging to see our American partners strengthening not only #business ties with Uzbekistan, but also their appreciation of our country’s rich history and cultural heritage.

Working alongside our partners at @DFCgov, EXIM remains a frontline economic tool supporting American workers, manufacturers, and exporters in markets around the world.

Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.

What happened next honestly caught me off guard.

By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.

For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.

I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.

But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.

After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.

Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.

This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.

And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸

[U.S. Export-Import Bank @EximBankUS]

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice made our freedoms—and the strength of this country—possible. We remember them today and always.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

America was built, defended, and preserved by those willing to give everything for it.

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedom. We will never forget them.
