In his Fourth of July speech, President Donald Trump called on America's young people to 'make a truly great statement' and sign up to the armed forces.
President Donald Trump urged young Americans to sign up to the military and"make a truly great statement in life" during his Fourth of July address, despite avoiding the Vietnam War draft himself multiple times, and once under dubious circumstances.
Trump spoke of"warriors from a hallowed roll call of American patriots running all the way back to the first souls who fought [for] and won American independence," adding that"the future of American freedom rests on the shoulders of men and women willing to defend it." "They and thousands before us served with immense distinction, and they loved every minute of that service," Trump said of America's decorated veterans during."To young Americans across our country, now is your chance to join our military and make a truly great statement in life. And you should do it."
But, in Trump's own record, it was never a good time to do the same, even as his nation called on him to serve alongside many others in Vietnam, and despite spending his high school years at the New York Military Academy, where he excelled as a student athlete. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrive to the"Salute to America" ceremony in front of the Lincoln Memorial, on July 4, 2019 in Washington, DC. The presentation features armored vehicles on display, a flyover by Air Force One, and several flyovers by other military aircraft.
