I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE FOR VETERANS.
I’M AT THE INSPIRING WORLD WAR TWO MEMORIAL IN PITTSBURGH.
THIS MONUMENT HONORS THE MORE THAN 400 THOUSAND AMERICANS WHO DIED IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
AND IT HONORS THE SACRIFICES OF SO MANY OTHERS – THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO NEVER RETURNED – THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WOUNDED.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HONORED AND HELPED VETERANS LIKE NO OTHER.
YOU’LL RECALL THAT WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION WAS A SCANDALOUS DISASTER.
DESPERATELY ILL VETERANS COMMITTED SUICIDE WAITING FOR CARE. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER VETS DIED WAITING FOR CARE THAT NEVER CAME.
TRUMP TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION – WITH THE VETERANS CHOICE ACT. IT ENABLED VETS TO OBTAIN CARE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WITH VA MONEY.
THE VA WAS FILLED WITH INCOMPETENT, UNCARING PEOPLE. LIKE THE HORROR STORY OF A DOCTOR WHO WAS CAUGHT DRUNK DURING SURGERY – SEVERAL TIMES.
BUT HE AND OTHER DANGEROUS DERELICTS AND INCOMPETENTS IN THE VA COULDN’T BE FIRED BECAUSE OF CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
TRUMP ENACTED THE VETERANS ACCOUNTABILITY ACT, LEADING TO THE FIRINGS, DEMOTIONS AND SUSPENSIONS OF SOME 4500 PROBLEM VA WORKERS.
HE SIGNED THE GI FOREVER ACT – EXPANDING BENEFITS FOR VETS AND ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL AND INCREASING BENEFITS FOR PURPLE HEART RECIPIENTS.
HE CUT THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS GETTING PUBLIC HOUSING, MAKING MORE HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR VETERANS.
HE RETURNED CHRISTMAS TREES AND BIBLES TO VA FACILITIES, SENDING MORALE SOARING.
HE REDUCED VETERAN UNEMPLOYMENT BY 40% DOWN TO 2.8%.
AND HE BROUGHT HOME 55 OF OUR VETERAN HEROES KILLED IN NORTH KOREA
AND TRUMP HELPED VETERANS WELL BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED.
DURING THE CAMPAIGN IN 2016 THE FUTURE PRESIDENT DONATED ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO THE MARINE CORPS LAW-ENFORCEMENT FOUNDATION. IT FUNDS EDUCATIONAL SERVICES FOR THE CHILDREN OF FALLEN MARINES AND POLICE OFFICERS.
IN 1985 TRUMP GAVE A MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP BUILD THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL PLAZA IN NEW YORK.
IN 2018 HE DONATED HIS ENTIRE FIRST QUARTER SALARY TO THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION.
AS A PENNSYLVANIA STATE LEGISLATOR..
I SERVED ON THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND HEADED THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON VETERANS FACILITIES AND WE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT FOR PENNSYLVANIA VETS.
I’M PROUD TO BE A THIRD GENERATION VETERAN, FOLLOWING MY GRANDFATHER AND FATHER. MY SONS ARE ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE AND AIR NATIONAL GUARD.
FELLOW VETERANS – YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO CARES ABOUT YOU. WHO CARES ABOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN ON DUTY AT THIS MOMENT.
YOUR SACRIFICES ENABLED AMERICA TO BE THE GREATEST NATION OF ALL TIME.
I PLEAD WITH YOU NOT TO LET THE COUNTRY FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO ARE NOW DESECRATING IT AND WOULD DESTROY IT.
LET ME HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AT Veritas Truth is Freedom on Youtube.
UNTIL NEXT TIME In God We Trust.
THIS IS NUMBER 13 IN MY SERIES OF VIDEOS ABOUT AMERICA.

Vets for Trump will not intentionally dox you! It's OK to disagree just be smart about it. If you are going to comment, read our comments area terms.
Thank you Vets for Trump for sharing the true story of the accomplishments of President Trump for vets. Many are out there misleading others but here is the truth.
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE FOR VETERANS.
I want to tell you what respect President Trump has for Veterans and Active.
He has allowed Russia to pay bounties to Militants aligned with the Taliban for killing American Troops! (1) Trump did not even bring up the subject in their latest phone call, or in any conversation with Putin!
Trump has denied that he was briefed, stated that he was completely unaware of the bounties. His own Intelligence Officers contradict this. The White House had this information last year. (2) The NSC met to discuss a proper response, and then added that Trump was not briefed. (3) Multiple sources confirmed that the Bounties did exist, yet the President was not briefed! There are no valid reason to not brief Trump. Even if the report was unconfirmed, why wouldn’t he be briefed? This serious of a threat, conformed or not, requires a response. Does the President care so little that they didn’t want to bother him? Was he more concerned with dead traitors than live servicemen? (4) Or was he too busy re-tweeting complete nonsense about a new “Cure”? (5) Trump defended re-tweeting the video even after it was pointed out that the Doctor had no proof and spouts nonsense medical “facts” frequently?
Every time Trump gives a speech or tweets to the military, he turns it into a campaign speech. (6, Tweet example) The Military is nothing but props for his reelection.
This was very evident with the West Point Graduation. (7) Why did he need to recall the Cadets? Why did he have to add to their chances of catching COVID? Couldn’t he have given the Commencement Speech Remotely? There would have been no difference except for not putting the Cadets at extra, unnecessary, risk. But, he needed props for his speech.
Yes, he has done wonders for the VA Health System and I applaud him for that. Trump turned it around from pig sties to someplace suitable for humans. The VA has been a disaster since Bush Jr. Neither the VA, or even the Military’s Health Care, was even remotely ready for the number of casualties incurred. Trump as corrected most of the problems and made the system work again. However, he has cut the overall health care budget so much that it will adversely affect Vets. (8)
For his Wall, that Mexico is suppose to be paying for, he slashed $3.5 BILLION from the Military’s construction funds. (9) The list included a lot of projects that would have improved living conditions on a lot of bases. Why didn’t Trump push through his wall when the GOP had control of both houses? Why did he wait until the GOP lost the House? If he would have started the wall in his first two years, he could have gotten it funded. Then he wouldn’t have had to take from the military’s budget. Why did he take the money from the Military’s budget? Why didn’t he take the money from the massive subsidies given to corporations? Military is easier, they can’t complain. And he can’t take the money from the subsidies, it would upset his peers.
How is pardoning War Criminals, over the objections of the Military, respectful? What does it do the Military Justice System. (10) How do you prosecute the next War Criminal? Do you even have a Justice System if the President says he doesn’t like it and then invalidates the whole trial? Yes, the President has the authority to pardon those two, but that ignores his responsibility as the CinC.
And I am sorry, but I can not see any justification for his treatment of McCain. Trump said McCain was not a hero. (11) Captain Bone Spurs disparaging a War Hero who did serve their Country and spent 5 ½ years as a POW as a result is not how you show the Military Respect. They were Political Opponents, but that does not justify this disrespect. Nor Trump’s disrespect to a Gold Star Family. It doesn’t matter how they were used, they still deserve respect for their loss.
Trump trying to turn his personal dislike of Transgender Servicemen into policy is not respect. Before trying to justify it on cost, Trump should have done his homework. (12) The Military spends ten times more on Viagra than the total Transgender’s Medical Costs. There is no legitimate reason for excluding Transgender Service Personal. How is trying to impose your personal beliefs over the Military’s System respectful?
His treatment of Non-Citizens in the Military is appalling! (13) How many people have legally enlisted as a path to Citizenship but then were deported after their service? How many Citizens were punished after their Military Service if they had a record? Yet it is suppose to be acceptable for Immigrants who have served honorably, AND were in the process of obtaining Citizenship.
Trump has done wonders for the VA, and has increased spending to improve readiness. But it hasn’t all been rosy.

More than half of your references are from the lying mainstream media. If you are going to site media sources you lose my trust in your assertions as well as your leftist talking points. Granted, President Trump is not the best President and never will be. However, look at the alternatives. This is the single most important election in recent history; it means the difference between America and Amerika. If Biden get’s elected (a verified traitor), the far left will impeach his ass and allow his socialist running mate to ascend to the Presidency. If that is OK with you, then so be it. But allowing it to happen to our Country is tantamount to violating and abandoning the oath we took as service members; an oath that lasts for a lifetime. Your personal dislike for the President should not outweigh your commitment to the American way of life, its founders, and the millions of Veterans who died for this country.
In these days I am reminded of a powerful scripture that addresses what is happening in our country and the rest of the world.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
-Isaiah 5:20 KJV
Its so easy to go on and on about what someone didnt do. I reminded VETS about the GREAT things HE DID DO. Many of them were things others promised but never followed through. Beware of superficial thinking. Trump tried to work with the RINOs on the wall when Republicans were in charge but was betrayed. Also betrayed by the likes of McCain. Just because you served well in the military doesnt mean you govern well. Remember Benedict Arnold was a great General until he betrayed us. Military service and government service are separate. Start giving the president credit for all the wonderful things he is doing for us. I didn’t even name half of them. Many more to come.
