Donald Trump and Melania Trump

“ Welcome to the White House. Thank you all for being here today. I'm honored by your presence, especially as we celebrate National Military Appreciation Month and Mother's Day on Sunday. As everyone in this room knows, mother is a title that claims your heart and changes your life forever. In fact, it has been said that having a child means allowing your heart to walk around outside of your body. For the mothers of someone who has, or is, serving our country, this must be especially true. ”

“ To all of the military families here today, thank you for your daily service to your families, and equally as important to our great, great nation -- and we have a great nation, it's getting stronger every day. [Applause]
And I can say this to all of the military folks, our nation is in fact getting stronger and stronger every day. New equipment is coming in. You've seen what's happening. Your spouses are talking about, it everybody's talking about it, but you get the first glimpse. ”

“ To every military service member mother and spouse here today, I want you to know that you have my complete and total support. The White House, this administration and this government stands fully behind you. As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend -- I had a great mother, she's looking down right now. I have a great mother. Mary. This is one of the many opportunities for us to thank the incredible military mothers who love and care for our nation's heroes, and they are heroes, so thank you very much. ”
