Biden Has Failed To Honor America’s Veterans
This Memorial Day, we reflect and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Americans must always remember those who’ve died, and those who still put their lives on the line to defend our country and protect our freedoms. We are forever indebted.
What you need to know:
- Under Biden’s leadership, service members, veterans, and Gold Star families have been treated disgracefully.
-
During the dignified transfer of the 13 service members killed in Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden repeatedly checked his watch in a blatant show of disrespect.
-
Biden has never even said the names of these 13 heroes out loud in public.
-
In Biden’s first year as president, he completely ignored the anniversary of D-Day, and the following year waited until 8:45 pm to acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of America’s heroes.
-
As vice president, Biden called American service members who didn’t clap for him "stupid bastards."
-
73% of veterans have a negative view of the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
- In the two years since this tragic accident, Gold Star families have relentlessly demanded answers and accountability from the Biden administration.
-
Instead of taking responsibility for the botched withdrawal, the Biden administration brushes off and downplays their Afghanistan disaster.
-
This year, three U.S. soldiers were killed and more than 40 were injured in a drone attack launched by Iran-backed militants.
-
16 days prior to the attack, Biden said he “delivered the message to Iran” and “they know not to do anything.”
-
Iran clearly wasn’t listening – Iranian terror proxies have mounted over 165 attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria since October.
-
Despite Biden telling Iran to stop aiding Houthi attacks on shipping, the Iranian-backed pirates continue to severely disrupt trade in the Red Sea.
-
Two U.S. Navy SEALs were declared dead after they went missing on a mission to seize Iranian missile parts being sent to the Houthis.
-
Biden’s poor treatment of Gold Star families is not new – a Gold Star father described his 2016 meeting with Biden as a “horrible experience” and that he left their conversation “feeling worse” than before.
- On day one, President Trump will restore respect for America’s veterans.
-
President Trump made historic accomplishments for America’s veterans, and is poised to do so again.
- President Trump signed the VA MISSION Act, which revolutionized the VA health care system and gave veterans more choice in their health care.
- President Trump expanded access to telehealth services for veterans, including through the VA’s “Anywhere to Anywhere” program.
- President Trump signed the Forever G.I. Bill, improving educational benefits for veterans, service members, and their families.
- President Trump ordered that federal student debt for America’s totally and permanently disabled veterans be automatically forgiven.
- President Trump ordered the formation of the PREVENTS Initiative, a task force that has created a roadmap to prevent veteran suicide.
- President Trump signed legislation making it easier to fire VA employees for misconduct or poor performance.
- In the first 30 months of the Trump Administration, more than 7,600 VA employees that have failed our veterans were fired.
- President Trump also signed into law a resolution honoring active-duty soldiers who served in Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield.
The bottom line:
Unlike Biden, President Trump understands that veterans are "America’s greatest living heroes, and we will cherish you now, always, and forever."
