It's Memorial Day in the year of our Lord 2020.

President Donald Trump
Right there you have a shot of

the Guard of Honor at Arlington National Cemetery near the Tomb of the Unknown. A Guard of Honor is what we're talking about with Patrick K. O'. Donnell. So through a grassroots effort, people say, hey, we have to have something that is equivalent to the French and to the British that have done this, particularly given the sacrifices. And remember, World War I, like,

Commentator/Analyst
think was such a shock of the intensity of the combat and that it was very controversial. There were a lot of Americans that did not want our boys to go back and fight the wars of the old, of the old war, particularly when there were so many, you know, kings and that. But the American Expeditionary Force had such a magnificent, I mean, just incredible battle history even in the short time they were there that people wanted to make sure they honored people given the very high casualties and the intensity of things like mustard gas. And remember, that really broke the French. While the French didn't only last for six weeks in World War II. I think it was 4 million casualties in the French Army. The fact they used to, they start having mutinies of the, the troops that enlisted men who just said, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm just like cattle. And, and they start showing there's a history of the. Showing their own truth because they were just randomly, you know, in Paths of Glory. That great film shows it. But they were just, they would say, okay, if you're not going to get out of the trenches, we're going to stand up and pick every 10th guy and just shoot them, right? So you got a choice. Either go get shot by the Germans or we're going to shoot you. In fact, there's records of them shelling their own troops. I mean, it was brutal. The British, the first day of the Somme with 60,000. I mean, just unheard of casualty rates. Very traumatic for the United States. Remember, after the war, there's not a ton of like rah, rah, patriotic movies. Yankee Doodle Danny with Cagney wasn't made until the 1940s. Sergeant York, the film on Sergeant York with Gary Kubrick, so magnificent, doesn't come out until right before, right around Pearl harbor in 1941. These are 20 years after the thing. The first movies come out, the silent movies, the big parade, all cry on the Western Front. These are not exactly rah rah films. This is like they're still fairly traumatized. When the body or the one the remains of the selected goes from the. From Deauville, which is right up there north of Normandy, I think to say
- [04:13]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
goes yeah, to the city center there.
- [04:17]
Commentator/Analyst
And they go on to. And they go onto the USS Olympia,
- [04:21]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
which is still in the port of Philadelphia. This Cruiser from the 1890s is still around and it's the ship that brings back the remains. The casket is so large that they can't put it under below decks, so it's lashed above deck. And the Olympia goes through a massive storm. And the Marines that are on board
- [04:45]
Commentator/Analyst
in the English Channel because you're really going from Deauville or to all the
- [04:49]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
way back to the United States.
- [04:51]
Commentator/Analyst
Oh, that's right. That's right.
- [04:52]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
And so they go through a massive storm in the Atlantic.
- [04:55]
Commentator/Analyst
I thought they stopped in Portsmouth. They go right to France.
- [04:58]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
Indeed. But all the way they have to go through the Atlantic and there's a massive storm. And Marines on board latch themselves to the gasket to keep it from going overboard. It's quite dramatic.
- [05:10]
Commentator/Analyst
Do they have a 24 hour guard of honor on the. On the Olympia for the casket?
- [05:14]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
They do. They have some men that are selected to be bearers there and they're lashed
- [05:18]
Commentator/Analyst
and they lash themselves so they don't
- [05:20]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
go as well as the Marines that are on board. And they make it back it. The ship pulls into the Navy yard on November 9th up the Potomac to the Navy? Yes, to the. To Washington D.C. and it's here that the men that I write about, the body bearers are assembled. And it's here that Pershing selects the most decorated men of the American Expeditionary Force. And he selects men that are in each branch of service, the Navy and the army, and specialties like an artilleryman, even a cavalryman. But also the Marines are represented by Ernest A. Jansen, who is, as I mentioned earlier, he was on Hill 142 at Belleau Wood. It's his efforts that will destroy a machine gun that's being several machine guns that are being set up. And he saves the hill with a bayonet charge on the machine gun, is wounded, and he and his other eight men are escorting the. The remains.
- [06:24]
Commentator/Analyst
What is the purpose of the body bearers? What is the purpose of body bearer?
- [06:28]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
To. To. To actually move the casket.
- [06:32]
Host/Interviewer
It.

Patrick K. O'Donnell
They Put it on the catafault that Lincoln had was buried on. Initially it was in land state at the Capitol Rotunda. And then it was brought on a horse carriage, you know, a gun carriage. Yes, a gun carriage through the streets of Washington to Arlington Cemetery. And these men were the ones that were actually handling the casket. And they were there, but they were done specifically to honor and sort of tell the story of the American Expeditionary Force. Pershing selected each one of these men specifically for their story. And each one is just. Is remarkable. Several Medal of Honor recipients, Distinguished Service Cross members. I mean, it's members of the Navy. James Delaney, for instance, is a member of the. He's a Navy gunner that's attached to a civilian ship. And he with his deck gun fights a U boat in a run and gun battle for two or three hours. And eventually the U boat catches up and they sink his ship and he becomes. It's an American dos boat. He feels he gets experience what it's like undersea in a U boat for several months and the depth charges and going through the entire horror of that experience.

You have the body bearers, you come into the Navy yard, you go Lyon state to honor it in the Capitol. Like only a handful of individuals, mainly presidents have happened to. He goes, you take it, you have a formal ceremony, you're going to take it to Arlington. How is one of the most powerful parts of this entire thing is the beauty and grandeur and understated kind of elegance of the tomb itself. Where it's placed. It's viewed back over Washington and just, you know, the tomb of the unknown, where it's situated, who is the architect? How do they conceive that?
- [08:39]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
They hire an architect to conceive it. They bring out its special marble and it's President Warren Harding that presides over it. And there's a number of kind of firsts that are occurring here. This is a reunification of the United States in many ways. It's a bringing together disparate groups. There's, you know, Confederate veterans and Northern veterans there. There's members of the Spanish American War, there's doughboys, but then there's heads of state and then there's people within American society that are there, that are, you know, the NAACP is represented, for instance. And they decide to use Chief Plenty Clues, a mate Sioux war chief to preside the last portion of the ceremony. And his war club is placed on top the tomb.
- [09:35]
Commentator/Analyst
Tell me about that.
- [09:36]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
Which is still there.
- [09:37]
Commentator/Analyst
Give me that again.
- [09:38]
Patrick K. O'Donnell
It's Chief Plenty clues is a, you know, he's the one that sort of says the final words. And that's kind of another way of healing. You know, we had this great war against Native Americans in the plains and he is chosen as well as Sergeant Saunders, who's a engineer, who's a Native American, that's a body bearer. And it's a first because they use kind of an early form of radio to broadcast Warren Harding's words coast to coast at the ceremony. And, you know, it's just a very, very powerful event that unites the country in many ways. It also celebrates those that served in the American expeditionary.

Hang on for one second. I'm going to come back to all this and you're going to tee us up for the President arriving and that we have the guard of honor. I want to. It's the middle of the night in Taiwan. Cleo Pascal. So all the war films, a lot of the war films have been playing on TCM over the weekend. A lot in the Pacific showed this constant tension between General MacArthur and Chester and Admiral Nimitz about do we come across the Central Pacific or do we start in, in Australia and go through New guinea and we've got to get to the Philippines. The one thing they both agree on is that at that time, for most of it, Taiwan is the ultimate, at least intermediate objective because that's going to be a staging base for this grand assault, you know, to get to the islands closer to Japan to be able to let Curtis LeMay and these guys really basically bomb the Japanese Imperial army back into the Stone Age. And so that hopefully to avoid the 4 million man invasion that was planned with 500,000 to 1 million casualties. Think about that for a second. And the days to bring this. Currently today's Financial Times, a big article right on the inside which is just now coming out that some of the most heated conversations at that event they had. You could tell there was a very big change coming out. Oh, fine. We're going to cut right now to Arlington National Cemetery and the commander in chief. They're going to come out.

It's. It's. It.

The official party has. Am I on? Okay, the official party has. President has laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown. Is now there's a shot from the inside. That's actually the reverse of the. Of the mansion right there. This is where the President is going to address. We're going to have momentarily, I think the army, traditionally the army band plays there. I want to thank everybody today that's been associated with this broadcast. We do this Every year and want to thank the Real America voice team and of course, the war room production team and want to thank our real America's voice production team in Denver, out there in the Denver area that always come in and give up their Memorial Day to come in and do this. I think it shows you their. Their commitment. So outside do we have the. Before the president, can we play some of the Gold Star mothers? I want to play just momentarily. Before the President came, some of the Gold Star families were addressing the candidate. Let's go and cut to that. And we will go back live as soon as the president's commander Chief comes out.

Gold Star Family Member (possibly Aaron Vaughn's father)
Good morning. It's both an honor and very humbling for Karen and I to be able to speak in front of you this morning. The first time I visited Arlington national cemetery was in 2003. With my wife Karen and our only son Aaron at the entrance. Karen took our picture beneath a sign that read, welcome to Arlington National Cemetery, our nation's most sacred shrine. Please conduct yourself with quiet dignity and respect at all times. Remember, these are hallowed grounds. We walked these grounds for hours that day, understanding, though not yet fully, the
- [20:50]
Gold Star Family Member (possibly Aaron Vaughn's mother)
weight of those words.
- [20:53]
Gold Star Family Member (possibly Aaron Vaughn's father)
The second time I visited Arlington was on August 26, 2011, to Barry Aaron. For most of my life, I'd heard the phrase the cost of freedom. Like many Americans, I honored Memorial Day, understanding what it represented, but never truly feeling its weight personally. For many, it becomes a three day weekend filled with sales, family, friends, and backyard barbecues. But on August 6, 2011, the cost of freedom knocked on our family's front door. Every Gold Star family member here today remembers that moment. The knock at the door, the phone call, the words that instantly divide your life into two chapters. Before they died and after. For our family, it felt as though a mirror had shattered. One piece was gone forever, and every remaining piece would never be the same again. There were days, weeks, even months when it felt like it would be easier to die than to continue to live. But we cannot remain in that place forever. Their sacrifice is too great. Our families are too important. And this republic must endure for those who come after us. As my friend Tim Brown has said, we can allow the weight of their sacrifice to crush us, or we can honor it by serving others and by living lives worthy of their sacrifice. I want to thank President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and our military leaders for giving our war fighters the freedom to fight as they've been trained to fight. To defeat the enemy decisively without unnecessary restrictions placed on them that have too often hindered them in recent years and to every Gold Star family here today. Your loved ones are not forgotten. Their lives mattered. Their sacrifice matters. And may we live every day worthy of the freedom they helped preserve. Thank you.

Gold Star Family Member (Karen Vaughn)
For 250 years, the world has waited for America to fail. Empires around us have risen and fallen. Borders have shifted and governments have collapsed. But through every trial faced, our republic endured. Why? Because this nation was founded upon a single idea powerful enough to outlive kingdoms and empires. And that idea was freedom. For 250 years, Americans have possessed the God given right to confront injustice, to resist tyranny, to worship freely, to speak openly and make our voices heard not only in voting booths, but also in the streets. Something most people in the world are unable to do without facing prison or even death. And by the way, one of the greatest lies Americans absorb is that freedom is normal. It isn't. It never has been. Freedom is not humanity's default condition. Those of us fortunate enough to have grown up in America have never known life without it. And because of that, we rarely stop to consider how precious it is or how staggering the price has been to preserve it. But our surroundings today memorialize one important truth. We only remain free because of the brave men and women throughout our history who have signed their names on that dotted line and said, even if it cost me my life, I will fight to preserve and defend this, the American dream. Every stone surrounding us represents a name, a story, a circle of family and friends who loved that person so much that they could not imagine a world without them in it. Which brings me to my son, Aaron. Aaron Vaughn was many things. A son, a brother, a husband, a father, a Navy seal, a fierce war fighter, a really good football player, and a warm, loving, kind, funny man who would give you the shirt off his back. But the most important thing I will ever tell you about Erin is this. He had a personal and deep relationship with Jesus Christ. And that's why you see hope, joy and resolve on this mother's face today. Because I know that one day I will hold my son again throughout my life. Freedom was a concept, a moment in history. A story about brave people who refused to bow any longer to the chains of tyranny. It was something we celebrated on the 4th of July. But on August 6, 2011, freedom became a sentence that began with we regret to inform you. Freedom became the silence left behind by a boy whose laughter filled every room he ever entered. Freedom became a folded flag placed in my arms on behalf of a grateful nation. My son had given his life for Me, for us. For every American who wakes up under the protection every day of the red, white and blue. In this after, it has become my mission to remind people that freedom is not an abstract idea and certainly not something owed to us simply because we're here. As Ronald Reagan once said, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We can preserve this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we can sentence the next generation of young people to take the first step into 1,000 years of darkness. And he went on to say, and this is my favorite part. If we are destined to fail, if this way of ours is to be lost, then at least let our children and our children's children know that it did not fail because we failed to try. And I wonder, have you ever stopped to consider that our national anthem ends with a question mark? Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave? For generations, our military has defended that banner on battlefields across the globe. But my greatest fear has never been that America will be conquered from abroad. My greatest fear is that we, the citizens of this nation, will fail to preserve her from within. That we will grow so cynical, so divided and so ungrateful for what we've inherited that we forget what was sacrificed to give it to us in the first place. And God forbid we ever let that happen. The men and women buried in these sacred fields left us with one charge. Don't let America fall. You can almost hear their final pleas around us. Make sure my sacrifice was worth the cost, not only to me, but to all those who had to go on living without me. I make no apologies for loving this country. America is not perfect. We have flaws, we have failures. And we have dark churches, chapters in our history. But the reason I love this country so much is that because I understand a fundamental truth, that history can only be shifted where freedom exists. Freedom to speak, freedom to challenge, to protest and disagree. Freedom to strive towards something better. And if you've started believing that America's best days are behind her, I encourage you to do 2 turn off your television and step away from social media. Because when you or I walk into a grocery store and we begin chatting with the people around us in line, or when we witness strangers helping each other after a devastating storm, or when we're standing in a crowd at a ball game cheering for our favorite team, it is of no concern to us how the person standing beside us voted. What we're witnessing there in those situations is the real America. Not the America we are constantly told to hate, but the America still worth believing in still worth fighting for and still worth dying for. Over the past 15 years, since our family lost air, and we have been loved on stage so well by this nation, Americans literally and figuratively wrap their arms around us through our darkest hours. I've seen too much generosity, too much goodness to ever buy into the lie that the American way of life was not worth the cost. So, no, I don't look around this country and see only the bad. Everywhere I look, I see the reason Aaron Vaughn gave his life. My prayer I leave you with today is that you see it, too. And that we, as a nation of people blessed enough to live in the United States of America, live lives worthy of the sacrifices that brought us this far. Thank you.

Host/Interviewer
In your faith tradition, would you bow with me in a word of prayer? Almighty God, Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer of all mankind, on this day of remembrance, we gather as one people here in America's cemetery, humbled by the cost of freedom and united in gratitude for those who have given their lives in the last full measure of devotion. We remember the soldiers who stood in the breach when liberty was threatened, the sailors who braved the seas in defense of our peace, the airmen who soared into danger so others might live, and the guardians of our homeland who did not return to their family's embrace. From the fields of Gettysburg to the beaches of Normandy, from the hills of Korea to the jungles of Vietnam, from the sands of the Middle east to the skies above distant lands, their courage has been the shield of our nation. Lord, grant us wisdom to honor their memory not only with words, but with lives worthy of their sacrifice. May we cherish the freedoms they have preserved, defend the justice they have sought, and extend compassion they carried in their hearts, comfort the families who still feel the ache of absence. May they know their loved ones are not forgotten, that their names are spoken with reverence, and their legacy lives on in the soul of our nation. As we stand among the markers of the fallen, may we be reminded that liberty is never free. It is fought and paid for in courage, in service, and in love. God, we pray for peace, that one day swords may be beaten into plowshares and no mother need weep for for a child lost to war. Until that day, give us strength to be faithful stewards of the freedom entrusted to us in your holy name. We remember, we honor, and we render thanksgiving. Amen.

Gold Star Family Member (possibly Aaron Vaughn's mother)
Well, good afternoon, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Secretary Hegseth, members of the president's cabinet, distinguished guests, veterans, my fellow Joint Chiefs, my fellow Americans, and most importantly, our Gold Star families. Welcome to Arlington National Cemetery and thank you for being here on this special day. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, a day of mourning, and a day of celebrating the great American spirit. And most of all, gratitude. Gratitude for the men and women who stepped forward without hesitation when their nation called and said simply, send me. Today, as we gather on this sacred ground, surrounded by rows and rows of beautiful white headstones, we are reminded as Americans, that each marker represents a life cut short. An individual story of American courage, tenacity, and grit. This summer, our nation will mark its 250th anniversary. And two and a half centuries have passed since a group of patriots declared themselves an independent nation. But words alone were not enough to deliver on this declaration. Gaining independence as a nation required action. And a young group of soldiers, sailors and marines went out into the battlefields to fight and secure our independence and set the course for our great nation that we know today. Many of them lie here on this hallowed ground. For 250 years, the men and women of America's armed forces have always been willing to sacrifice for something greater than themselves. The patriots buried here connect the frozen encampments of Valley Forge to the cold forests of Europe, the sands of the Pacific to the mountains of Korea and the jungles of Vietnam, to the deserts of the Middle East. Across the centuries, the character, courage and commitment of the American warfighter has never wavered, and it never will. It's that same war fighting spirit we recently saw in Operation Epic Field Fury. And we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, adding their names to the story of American heroism. To the Gold Star families here today and those watching across this great nation, we know that for you, Memorial Day is not a single date on a calendar. It's literally every single day. You bear a burden that most of us cannot comprehend, but you do so with a grace and resilience that inspires an entire nation. We cannot replace what you've lost, but we can promise you this. Your loved ones names will never be forgotten. Their names are etched into the stones in this great cemetery, but more importantly, woven into the fabric of the story of Our nation. May we always strive to be worthy of their sacrifice. And may we honor them by continuing to fiercely defend the nation they died to protect. We will never forget our fallen and their families. And may we always keep in mind our members of the deployed joint force right now and their families. It is now my distinct honor and privilege to. To introduce the Secretary of War and a combat veteran himself, Ladies and gentlemen, the Honorable Pete Hegseth. Mr. Secretary.

Pete Hegseth
Well, Mr. President. Mr. Vice President.

Pete Hegseth
Thank you. Gold star families, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us to remember our fallen warriors from the sacred names of bygone eras to the thirteen souls of epic fury. On this sacred occasion for our nation, we take the day for memories of our very best. They now lie in silent rows here at Arlington and more than 170 national cemeteries throughout our nation and across 17 countries around the world. They answered the call when it mattered the most, and they gave the last full measure of devotion so that this great republic of ours might endure. This day began as Decoration Day, when widows and orphans and other mourners placed flowers and ribbons on some 20,000 graves. They were soldiers once, and as they marched off to battle, they sang the lines of the hymn in the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea With a glory in his bosom which transfigures you and me as he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free While God is marching on. The mourners of that first Decoration Day knew what we know on this Memorial Day, that these graves are more than names and dates with a dash in between each grave marker is a story. The young American on the battlefield, away from home, he stayed in combat with loved ones by staying contact with loved ones by writing letters. In World War II, they called it Victory Mail. GIs wrote of coming home and watching sunsets again, of having a cigarette and a beer with their buddies, going to football games and on dates, loving their wives, seeing their children grow tall and great. Different wars. Still the same letters today, those we remember today will never get those sunsets. They'll never get those dates. They'll never get to raise their children. Instead, they were delivered from the battlefield into the arms of a loving Lord and savior. Their families and their buddies greeting them home with a folded triangle of stars and the piercing sound of a soul bugle playing. Taps, picnics, barbecues, and time at the beach. Those things are wonderful aspects of Memorial Day weekend, and we should enjoy them for the fallen, they would want it that way. But this solemn day, we must remember that our republic was forged and purchased with blood. American blood. So take pause today and consider the transformation these warriors went through for our nation. Share it with your kids and your grandkids, we must. Ordinary men, when called, can become our heroes. They fought not because they hate what's in front of them, but because they love what's behind them. And so may the ones we remember today live on in every flag that flies. May they live on in every voice of a school child who says the Pledge of Allegiance. May they live in our prayers to almighty God today with this humble ceremony we owe at least this that with every salute, with every ceremony, with every parade, with every prayer, every day and every year, we remember that by our remembrance we guard the eternal flame that they lit with the price of their youth. They were Americans from small towns and big cities. And in the words of the apostle Paul, they stood against the darkness of the world wearing the breastplate of righteousness. They've now gone on to their reward, but we remember them here on this hallowed ground. To them, to those I say your watch is finished. But the legacy of what you left, that is eternal. You raced to the breach so that we could walk in freedom and prosperity. May we live lives worthy of their sacrifice and boldly carry forth their fight for freedom, picking up the sword of the spirit and charging forward daily. May almighty God bless our warriors and may almighty God bless our fallen and those who day love, always remember and amen. Thank you,

Vice President J.D. Vance
Thank you all, and Mr. President, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chairman, all of our honored guests, but especially our Gold Star families. I want to say just a few things today because I believe that the most important lesson of Memorial Day is perhaps that all of us owe a debt. That we owe a debt to the people who went overseas and gave their lives, that the United States might be prosperous and peaceful and free. That we owe a debt to the people who put on a uniform, knowing they might never come back. And indeed, today we pay tribute to those who never came back. I think, like a lot of veterans, and we're joined by so many of you. Sometimes Memorial Day is the most somber and the most sacred of the days on the American calendar. People will come up to our veterans and say things like, happy Memorial Day or may you have a blessed Memorial Day. And those of us who served know acutely that today is not for all veterans as much as we love all of our veterans. Today is for those veterans who put on the uniform, who went overseas and who never came home. When I think about the debt that we owe them, I think about all the things that they gave, which can't be measured in dollars or in the things of this world, but are measured in things like weddings that they never got to attend, children that they never saw grow up, daughters and sons that they never got to hug and kiss again. Loved ones, husbands and wives. They traded every moment from the moment where they gave their lives to the moment where they would ultimately meet their natural end. Every single one of those moments they gave up that the United States might remain the freest and best country in the entire world. What an amazing thing. What an amazing gift. On this Memorial Day, I just ask two things of all of our fellow Americans. The first is that we be the very best version of ourselves. In honor of those who gave everything that this nation might be worthy. To all the husbands and fathers, that we be the best husbands and dads that we can. To all the mothers and wives, that they be the best moms and wives that they can. To the sons and daughters, that they be the very best version of themselves. And second, we always remember that every moment that we're able to enjoy with our loved ones, everything that gives our life and our nation meaning and purpose was given to us, often by total strangers who laid down their lives, that this might be the best nation in the history of the world. And finally, And finally to our Gold Star families, I hope you know that I will never forget. I'll never forget your loved ones. That the good life that I have and that my family have is fundamentally because you paid a debt that I can never repay. I'll never forget their smiling faces. I'll never forget their skill and bravery in battle. I'll never forget that all the moments that I'm able to have with my family, they're not able to have with theirs. And most of all, I know from every American across every political persuasion that we love you, we're grateful to you. We're proud of you. And we commit to make the United States of America the very best version of itself. And that is how we honor those who gave their lives to this country. And without further ado, it is my great honor to introduce the 45th and 47th commander in chief of these united states, president donald j. Trump. Mr. President.

President Donald Trump
Well, thank you very much, everybody. What a beautiful day. As it turns out, it's just perfect. We'd rather have this than the heat. It's just beautiful. It's always beautiful being here. My fifth time, and it never changes. Vice President Vance, Secretary Hegseth, Chairman Kaine, members of the Cabinet, members of the United States Armed Forces, veterans and fellow citizens, today, here at Arlington, a very special place that howled burial grounds, battlefields across the country and around the world, we unite in solemn observance. With reverent hearts, we honor those who fell so that our republic might stand, those who died so that our nation could live, those who gave up their sacred light on earth so that the sublime light of American freedom would shine forever and ever. This Memorial Day, we salute them, we exalt them, and we thank them for all that we have and for all that they gave. They gave everything. God bless Our fallen heroes. We're joined today by some of those they left behind. Our incredible Gold Star families. Incredible people. To every person here and across America who holds tight to the memory of a warrior taken from them, we will never ever forget the ones you loved. Gold Star family members, please stand. Receive our thanks.

Thank you. Thank you very much. My honor. Less than six weeks from now, our nation will reach a historic milestone. 250 years of majestic American independence. Something. But it's only right that first we remember the immense sacrifice that has been brought to us in this momentous anniversary year. That's what it is. It's a momentous year. Before we hail the founding, we honor the fallen. Before we celebrate the triumph, we pay the tribute. Before we crown the victory, we count the cost. Today we are reminded that there could be no fourth of July without America's armed forces. And there could be no Independence Day without Memorial Day. We owe our liberty, our self government, the glories of our history and our very nation itself to the generations who paid for it with everything they had the ultimate sacrifice. The first Americans to give their lives in battle fell on April 1775, when eight Patriots were cut down by redcoats. Those guns, they were shot. On Lexington Green. They had answered the call to muster against a force five times their strength, they said at the time, the greatest in the world in defense of their cherished rights and their cherished liberty. As the British approach to Massachusetts, militiamen summoned destiny itself, saying, if they mean to have a war, let it begin right here. Taleb Harrington was 23 years old when he accompanied his father to the Green that day. Torn apart from each other in the chaos of combat, that American son died trying to fight his way back to his father. He wanted to get back to dad. Caleb's cousin Jonathan was struck down at age 31, shot within the sight of his home and his young wife and child who awaited his return. Jonathan crawled, bleeding back to them to die on his own doorstep for a final, terrible but beautiful farewell. His widow and orphan were perhaps the very first Gold Star family in a long unbroken chain that reaches up through the ages to us right here today. When our founding fathers put the ideas of the Declaration of Independence to paper in Philadelphia, they signed and sealed an oath that had already been written in blood by patriots at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill. Their sacrifice birthed the most incredible and exceptional nation in all of history. And our nation is doing better today than it's ever done before,

Right?

President Donald Trump
That's right. The cause of independence exploded from that Part of the American soul that will not be tamed, that will never be conquered, that will rather face death than to live as slaves to the arbitrary will of another. This is the unyielding spirit that has always set Americans apart and driven generations of American warriors into battle, their chests beating with a cry that says, we will govern ourselves. We will control our destiny. We will bow to no one but the righteous God who made us and who gave us our rights and blessed this land free and the bravest of the brave. Ten days into the legendary Battle of the Bulge In World War II, Lt. Col. Keith Ware led 11 men in a tank against entrenched German positions, the toughest positions anywhere in the world. Half the patrol, including Ware himself, were soon wounded. Yet still he killed five enemy riflemen, demolished three German machine gun nests, forced a fourth to surrender, and captured the hill. For his heroism, he received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Unlike most drafted soldiers, Ware stayed in the army and rose to the rank of general, a highly respected general in Vietnam as commander of the 1st Infantry. The big Red One, they called it. That's very nice. He led from the front, and in 1968, that's where he was shot down surveying enemy positions for the famous assault on Hill 222. Known as the Fighting General, he's buried here in Arlington, and with us is his grandson and namesake, Staff Sergeant Keith Ware, and Air Force veteran. Keith, where are you? Keith, where are you? Keith? Hi, Keith. Thank you very much. Great honor. We're also honored to be joined by a man who, like General Ware, is a veteran of the largest battle in U.S. army history, the Battle of the Bulge. At 15, Harry Miller lied about his age to enlist and was soon fighting to stop the SS Panzer Divisions as part of the famed 740th Tank Battalion, the daredevils they were called, of which he is among the last surviving members. At 97 years old, within six months after the battle, Harry's unit lost 42 comrades. He's remembering them today. Sergeant Miller, it is a true honor to have you with us. Sergeant Miller. And he looks great. Thank you. Many of the greatest men of that generation followed along an epic path from World War II to Korea and to Vietnam. Major Charles Kelly was the father of aggressive dust off helicopter flying that made army medical evacuation pilots among the most fearless in Vietnam. The greatest helicopter pilots, they say, that ever lived. Like Sergeant Miller, Charles enlisted to serve in World War II. At age 15, he was wounded at the Battle of Aiken and went on to fight in Korea. But flying helicopter, ambulances in Vietnam is what etched his name into history. Since I have been here, he wrote in 1964, we have evacuated 1,800 casualties. And in the last three months we've flown 242 hours at night. No other unit can match this. And they flew the most dangerous routes probably in the history of warfare. Two weeks later, under brutal enemy fire, Kelly refused to withdraw until he had loaded the wounded aboard. As he prepared for takeoff, an enemy bullet pierced his heart. Yet Charles Kelly's heroic life saving style lived on. His comrades and command passed on to Captain Patrick Henry Brady. And four years later, Brady piloted three damaged helicopters in turn to evacuate an incredible 51 wounded warriors under intense fire. Fire like no one has seen up until that point. For this, he received also the Congressional medal of honor. General Brady is with us at 89 years old as we salute his fallen mentor, Charles Kelly. Thank you very much. Thank you for being here. Thank you very much. Sergeant First Class Matthew McClintock enlisted in the army in 2006 and became a very special Green Beret. In 2016, he found himself in an hours long firefight with Afghan terrorists when a comrade was severely wounded. Matthew wanted to find a landing zone for a medevac rescue. Very dangerous, horrible, horrible way to be flying. He was reminded on the dangers, but Matthew replied, we have to save him. We have to do it. Running out in the face of mortars and rocket propelled grenades, he went to work, but was soon gravely wounded. He was hit from every possible angle. Matthew fell that day. But the soldier he gave his life to save survived and thrived and Matthew was awarded the Silver Star. We're deeply honored to be joined by Matthew's mother, Joyce, his widow Allie, and his precious young son Declan, here to remember Matthew at his grave in section 60 ten years later. So, Joyce and Allie and Declan, we salute Sergeant Matthew McClintock as an American hero. Please. Thank you. These are tremendous people. These are brave, brave people. In two wars recently, we've lost a total of 13 service members in Venezuela, which was a complete and total victory where we're working very closely with the Venezuela government right now. We took that over in one day and lost no one. In Operation Epic Fury, we lost 13 wonderful souls, wonderful special people. These incredible men and women gave their lives to ensure that the world's number one state sponsor of terror will never have a nuclear weapon. Oh, and they won't. They will never have a nuclear weapon. I'm sure you know that. One of them was Major Arianna Savino Lindsey. And we're Joined by her great family, Omayra, Darren, Zevin and Wick. Stand up, please. Please. There he is. There he is. Thank you very much. Thank you, Vic. Thank you very much to all of you. Arianna is selfless gift will not be in vain. Our debt to you is everlasting. And it's always going to end in victory. We're having victories all over the place. More than we've had in many, many decades. Scripture tells us precious is the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants. 400,000 souls rest on these grounds. These beautiful grounds in the sacred soil which is first consecrated in the hours of America's greatest division to be eternal symbol of national unity. It cannot be by chance alone that the very first service member laid to rest here in this place of supreme sacrifice was a Union soldier by the name of Private Christ Mann. Private William Henry Christman of Pennsylvania who died is 19 years old. He was a great young man. They say beside him are more than 18,000 other young men named William. Over 20,000 named John. Over 13,000 named James. Joined over time by Isaac, Elijah, Earls, Hanks, Helens, Juan's Margarets, Marius Donnells, not too many and others whose names tell the true story of American greatness and greatness. It is here beneath arching trees and white stones. So beautiful these many are made one again. United forever as brothers and sisters in arms and children of our fathers in heaven. From coast to coast, from proud cities to humble towns and from heartland fields. From every race and religion. They came because they could not bear the thought that the nation they loved so much might ask for heroes and hear no answer. But they answered. And they answered very, very loudly. At Ticonderoga and San Juan Hill, at Manila Bay and Midway, at Pointe du Hoc and Busan, the courage of the American warrior has forged a path through every sea and every place that's marked a trail to every corner on the earth. In 250 years, America's heroes have saved more lives, freed more captives, accomplished more good and spread more hope than any other people at any time in the history of the world. Whole nations, no liberty today. Entire generations, no freedom. Billions and billions of people have been delivered from poverty, tyranny and oppression because of the sacrifices we honor this day. That's why from Brittany to Sicily, from Panama City to Saipan, from the Netherlands to North Africa to New Zealand, this whole planet is adorned with memorials to America's fallen and to America's greatness. To their courage. Carved in marble and engraved in the hearts of all of mankind. We will never forget you. From 1776 to 2026, America has always stood as a great and moral cause. Our warriors are no mere mercenaries. They are guardian angels who stride across the battlefields of history and stand watch over the highest and most beautiful plains the human spirit has ever seen. Holding the line between liberty and tyranny, between civilization and barbarism, between good and evil. Wherever the American soldier walks, wherever he fights, wherever he fails and wherever he falls, he does it for the destiny of a nation like no other. There's never been anybody like you. And for the fate of freedom on this earth, we salute you like nobody has ever been saluted before. By their deaths. Those who have gone before us in battle have redeemed the promise of our founding. For for each future generation, they've not just made the ultimate sacrifice. They've offered the ultimate proof that we Americans do indeed love liberty. We do cherish the self government given to us by our forefathers. We do believe with all our souls in the mission that God has given to America. And we do intend with all our strength and heart to hold high the torch our heroes handed to us. And we will never ever let it fall. Thank you very much. You are special, special people. We love you all. God bless the families of the fallen. God bless the men and women who serve. And God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much, everybody.

Okay, if the army band plays any more tunes, which they normally do when people file out, we'll go back to that. As you know, we love the army band here at the war Room. I want to thank everybody involved with today's broadcast. We still got a little bit more. We're going to get to number one. Really want to thank our sponsors for this, particularly Patriot Mobile who you've seen all weekend. They had the great sponsorship yesterday of our musical festivities down in Texas. Patriot Mobile 972 Patriot. Don't ever forget Jenny and Glenn story. I'm have them on tomorrow. Tomorrow back to work. And we're going to really get back to work because it's the Texas runoff election with Ken Paxton and we have to make sure everybody turns out to vote. The team over at Patriot Mobile has been doing a fantastic job of that. I want to thank Glenn and Jenny's story. Jenny, the one of the. The foundational elements of the grassroots movement in Texas. I'm gonna thank that 972 patriot also birchgold birchgold.com Bannon not promo code as Mo tells me. Beats me about the head and shoulders on that. Appropriate remarks by the commander in chief. You also had the vice president United States, you had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of War all giving different elements benediction very solemn and of course the laying of the wreath on the tomb of the Unknown. With everything that went on today, I gotta tell you I was very, very impressed with the, with the comments what we call appropriate remarks from the Gold Star families. And Karen Vaughn at the end. That was Aaron Carson Vaughn, who's a Navy SEAL who gave his life in defense of his country in Afghanistan was one of the up there. And we're going to go back. I want to play that in its entirety because I think it was some of the most important things I've heard in a while at these commemorations on, on Memorial Day, the president United States is headed back, back to the White House where they're working on this peace deal. I think we can tell you that the president is telling you that he'll be able to announce it when he's ready to announce it, that they're working through this. And a lot of moving pieces of this the president put out today about the Abraham Accords. The president's talking about, you know, no dust, no dollars as far as the nuclear goes. So it's very complicated. And he's been very critical, as I think he should be, of folks jumping in, in the middle of this negotiation and saying he's surrendering. And, you know, you need to continue to bring kinetic activity back to the Amulas and to the ayatollah. So President Trump's been pretty adamant. He's working on this. He's working through all these complex issues to try to sequence this all appropriately. Capital markets, particularly oral markets, have been responding, I think positively thinking something's going on. But obviously tomorrow we're going to have all of that, tons of new things on artificial intelligence. There's so much going on in the world geopolitically. But on today, kind of in the high church of a civic religion of the United States, Memorial Day is the most profound day we have because it is remembering our honored dead. And I want to thank Patrick K. O'.

Go to Patrick Day oconnell Patrick K. O' Donnell's website and get all his writings you will, any book you get, you will be mesmerized by because it's just absolutely terrific. Here's what we're going to do. Once again, want to thank our sponsors, Patriot Mobile, Birch Gold, two of the best, sponsor all these activities. We have the entire team at Real America's Voice. I always want to thank the Denver team that gives up first off, they always give up their Saturday support us on the Saturday show. And then when we have these specials, the team's always in there. What we're going to do is we're going to play go back, it's about 10 minutes. Want to play the remarks from the Gold Star families. And it ends with a gold Star mother, Karen Vaughn, about her son, Aaron Carson Vaughn. And then we are going to cut in the time remaining, cut to the Charlie Kirk show that's doing a pre record, I think, special and then continue on with the regular broadcasting of Real America's Voice throughout the afternoon. Let's go now back to Arlington National Cemetery. Just moments ago, the Gold Star family Please.
- [90:39]
Gold Star Family Member (possibly Aaron Vaughn's father)
Good morning. It's both an honor and very humbling for Karen and I to be able to speak in front of you this morning. The first time I visited Arlington national cemetery was in 2003. With my wife Karen and our only son Aaron at the entrance, Karen took our picture beneath a sign that read, welcome to Arlington National Cemetery, our nation's most sacred shrine. Please conduct yourself with quiet dignity and respect at all times. Remember, these are hallowed grounds. We walked these grounds for hours that day, understanding, though not yet fully, the weight of those words. The second time I visited Arlington was on August 26, 2011, to Barry Aaron. For most of my life, I'd heard the phrase the cost of freedom. Like many Americans, I honored Memorial Day, understanding what it represented, but never truly feeling its weight personally. For many, it becomes a three day weekend filled with sales, family, friends, and backyard barbecues. But on August 6, 2011, the cost of freedom knocked on our family's front door. Every Gold Star family member here today remembers that moment. The knock at the door, the phone call. The words that instantly divide your life into two chapters. Before they died and after. For our family, it felt as though a mirror had shattered. One piece was gone forever. And every remaining piece would never be the same again. There were days, weeks, even months when it felt like it would be easier to die than to continue to live. But we cannot remain in that place forever. Their sacrifice is too great. Our families are too important. And this republic must endure for those who come after us. As my friend Tim Brown has said, we can allow the weight of their sacrifice to crush us, or we can honor it by serving others and by living lives worthy of their sacrifice. I want to thank President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and our military leaders for giving our war fighters the freedom to fight as they've been trained to fight. To defeat the enemy decisively, without unnecessary restrictions placed on them that have too often hindered them in recent years. And to every Gold Star family here today, your loved ones are not forgotten. Their lives mattered. Their sacrifice matters. And may we live every day worthy of the freedom they helped preserve. Thank you.

Gold Star Family Member (Karen Vaughn)
For 250 years, the world has waited for America to fail. Empires around us have risen and fallen. Borders have shifted and governments have collapsed. But through every trial faced, our republic endured. Why? Because this nation was founded upon a single idea powerful enough to outlive kingdoms and empires. And that idea was freedom. For 250 years, Americans have possessed the God given right to confront injustice, to resist tyranny, to worship freely, to speak openly and make our voices heard not only in voting booths, but also in the streets. Something most people in the world are unable to do without facing prison or even death. And by the way, one of the greatest lies Americans absorb is this. That freedom is normal. It isn't. It never has been. Freedom is not humanity's default condition. Those of us fortunate enough to have grown up in America have never known life without it. And because of that, we rarely stop to consider how precious it is or how staggering the price has been to preserve it. But our surroundings today memorialize one important truth. We only remain free because of the brave men and women throughout our history who have signed their names on that dotted line and said, even if it cost me my life, I will fight to preserve and defend this, the American Dream. Every stone surrounding us represents a name, a story, a circle of family and friends who live loved that person so much that they could not imagine a world without them in it. Which brings me to my son, Aaron. Aaron Vaughn was many things. A son, a brother, a husband, a father, a Navy seal, a fierce war fighter, a really good football player, and a warm, loving, kind, funny man who would give you the shirt off his back. But the most important thing I will ever tell you about Aaron is that this. He had a personal and deep relationship with Jesus Christ. And that's why you see hope, joy, and resolve on this mother's face today. Because I know that one day I will hold my son again throughout my life. Freedom was a concept, a moment in history, a story about brave people who refused to bow any longer to the chains of tyranny. It was something we celebrated on the 4th of July. But on August 6, 2011, freedom became a sentence that began with we regret to inform you. Freedom became the silence left behind by a boy whose laughter filled every room he ever entered. Freedom became a folded flag placed in my arms on behalf of a grateful nation. My son had given his life for me, for us. For every American who wakes up under the protection every day of the red, white and blue. In this after, it has become my mission to remind people that freedom is not an abstract idea and certainly not something owed to us simply because we're here. As Ronald Reagan once said, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We can preserve this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we can sentence the next generation of young people to take the first step into 1,000 years of darkness. And he went on to say, and this is my favorite part. If we are destined to fail, if this way of ours is to be lost. Then at least let our children and our children's children know that it did not fail because we failed to try. And I wonder, have you ever stopped to consider that our national anthem ends with a question mark? Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave? For generations, our military has defended that banner on battlefields across the the globe. But my greatest fear has never been that America will be conquered from abroad. My greatest fear is that we, the citizens of this nation, will fail to preserve her from within. That we will grow so cynical, so divided, and so ungrateful for what we've inherited that we forget what was sacrificed to give it to us in the first place. And God forbid we ever let that happen. The men and women buried in these sacred fields left us with one charge. Don't let America fall. You can almost hear their final pleas around us. Make sure my sacrifice was worth the cost, not only to me, but to all those who had to go on living without me. I make no apologies for loving this country. America is not perfect. We have flaws, we have failures, and we have dark chapters in our history. But the reason I love this country so much is that because I understand a fundamental truth, that history can only be shifted where freedom exists. Freedom to speak, freedom to challenge, to protest and disagree. Freedom to strive towards something better. And if you've started believing that America's best days are behind her, I encourage you to do 2 turn off your television and step away from social media. Because when you or I walk into a grocery store and we begin chatting with the people around us in line, or when we witness strangers helping each other after a devastating storm, or when we're standing in a crowd at a ball game cheering for our favorite team, it is of no concern to us how the person standing beside us voted. What we're witnessing there in those situations is the real America. Not the America we are constantly told to hate, but the America still worth believing in, still worth fighting for, and still worth dying for. Over the past 15 years, since our family lost Erin, we have been loved on so well by this nation. Americans literally and figuratively wrap their arms around us through our darkest hours. I've seen too much generosity, too much goodness to ever buy into the lie that the American way of life was not worth the cost. So, no, I don't look around this country and see only the bad. Everywhere I look, I see the reason Aaron Vaughn gave his life. My prayer I leave you with today is that you see it, too. And that we, as a nation of people blessed enough to live in the United States, States of America. Live lives worthy of the sacrifices that brought us this far. Thank you,
