There’s a fitting irony in the fact that President Donald J. Trump was born on June 14th.
On this day in 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the design of the first American flag: the enduring symbol of our nation’s FREEDOM, COURAGE, and PROMISE.
Generations later, that date would become known as Flag Day, first recognized nationally by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and officially established by President Harry Truman in 1949.
As someone who wore the uniform and fought beneath that flag, I understand what it represents. It is more than cloth and colors.
It is sacrifice, opportunity, excellence, and the enduring belief that America remains the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.
In my lifetime, I have never seen a Commander-in-Chief display a deeper love for this country or a fiercer commitment to defending its people, values, and future than President Trump.
45 and 47.
One of one.
To our leader, our President, and I am proud to say, my friend..
Happy Birthday.
And to the GREATEST flag ever flown and the nation it represents:
Happy Flag Day. 🇺🇸
