Actions speak louder than words - the actions of the Biden / Harris administration is speaking volumes: they do not care about the sacrifices our military is willing to do for us, for them. It has been more than 3 years for even the slightest personal acknowledgment from the Biden / Harris administration and the entire time has been crickets. If they are doing this to our military, they will do this to you.
Trump’s actions speak volumes - compassion, thanks, respect, honor.
This is why Trump is honored and both Biden and Harris are not.
Demanding respect loses the trust of those you are making that demand and they will not put their best foot forward.
Commanding respect will find them doing more for you than you ever asked.
TRANSCRIPT
President Harris.
Vice President Harris.
Vice President Harris, my name is Steve Nikui.
I'm the father of Lance Corporal Kareem M. Nikui.
My name is Jim McCollum.
I am the Gold Star Father of United States Marine Corps Lance Corporal Riley McCollum.
This is Mark Schmitz, Gold Star Father of Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz.
My name is Darren Hoover, and I'm the Gold Star Father of (the) United States Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover.
My daughter-in-law, Sergeant Nicole Leanne G. was killed in the Afghanistan exit at Abbey Gate.
Our kids were murdered because of your administration.
You were not at Dover for the dignified transfer, and (at) no time have you reached out to me to offer your condolences, to offer thank you for Karim's sacrifice and service.
You have 13 families who have been waiting over three years to so much as get a phone call, to so much as hear our kids' names said aloud.
You failed for three years and eight months to acknowledge our kids?
Where were you and Joe Biden on August 26, 2024?
Nowhere near Arlington Cemetery.
You couldn't be bothered to be with us or even say our kids' names, just as you had done for the last three years.
Vice President Harris, I ask you, why won't you return a call and explain to us how you call my daughter-in-law's death a success?
President Trump has called.
President Trump shows up.
President Trump takes the time to hear our loved ones' stories.
We invited him to be there.
These are the only memories we get to make with our son, and it is you who is playing politics and trying to detract from our memories made that day.
President Trump has been there for us.
He's been a rock for us.
He showed compassion for us, and he showed he truly cares for the families that truly do know what the ultimate sacrifice really is.
