“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

May we always live worthy of their sacrifice, honor their memory, and never forget the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price.

The West Point Class of 2026 will find strength in shared purpose.

This is not an Army of One. It’s “SEND US” — not “send he,” “send she,” or “send they/them.”

Race for the brave 🇺🇸

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

We welcomed the Class of 2026 into the noble profession of arms.

These warriors have answered the call to serve something greater than themselves—I could not be more proud to stand alongside them.

We are now the #15 new release children’s book in the country before we debut on Tuesday. Feels weird to be ranked around Toy Story and ahead of Lego Batman, but given the book’s contents that’s good news for America!

As we take this weekend to remember those who sacrificed everything, Memorial Day is not about politics, slogans, or long weekends. It is about the Americans who stood shoulder to shoulder in places of fear, violence, and chaos and never made it home.

These service members gave everything for our country and for the brothers and sisters beside them. They fought until the very end, surrounded by some of the very best our nation has to offer.

I will never forget the courage I witnessed from Soldiers fighting rooftop to rooftop in Baghdad and Samarra, evacuating wounded under fire, and relentlessly taking the fight to the enemy.

We honor the fallen, the families they left behind, and the brothers and sisters who carry their memory every single day.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

I visited the San Diego and El Centro border sectors to meet with the soldiers and Marines who are locking down the southern border. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, and the work of Joint Task Force Southern Border, our border is more secure than ever.

DoW National Defense Areas 4 & 5 are positioned directly across from major narco-terrorist strongholds in Mexico. Every day, Task Force Leviathan (San Diego) and Task Force Ram (El Centro) are disrupting drug and human trafficking operations, preventing illegal migrant crossings, and using advanced technology to detect and defeat drones.

Today, 17 countries pledged to join the Department of War with the moral mission of eradicating cartels and their enablers throughout the Western Hemisphere. SecWar @PeteHegseth is leading a once in a lifetime movement with military power to bring death to narco-terrorists.

Welcome home USS Gerald R. Ford, USS Bainbridge and USS Mahan! After a historic 11-month deployment across four different areas of operation, our Sailors have returned to Naval Station Norfolk.

“GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

It was an honor to host Indonesian Defense Minister @sjafriesjams at the Pentagon today.

I was proud to announce that we are elevating our relationship to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership, in recognition of the strength and potential of our bilateral defense ties.

Under the previous administration, the Department of Defense’s financial reporting was a disaster — and had been for far too long.

That ends today—the WAR DEPARTMENT will deliver a clean audit for our 2028 financial statements.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Maj. Ryan Reynolds and Maj. Edwin Stanfield exemplify the very best of our nation.

On November 26, 2025, they showed extraordinary courage when Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were attacked in Washington, D.C.

We honor their service. 🇺🇸
