President Donald Trump praised a group of wounded veterans at a White House event Thursday morning.
“President Trump will host wounded warriors to kick start the annual Soldier Ride, a multi-day, rehabilitative bicycle ride designed to empower veterans and service members recovering from the physical and psychological wounds of war,” the White House said in a statement before the event.
“I know some of you. We’ve been dealing together more than a year. I’ve watched you get better and stronger. You’re stronger than all of us. I want to thank you all for being here. Thank you very much,” Trump said, launching into a speech lauding the veterans and promising a forthcoming medical choice program from the veterans affairs bureaucracy.
He continued, “Each of you is part of the unbroken chain of courageous Americans that have answered the call in every generation, defending our faith and great American flag that we love.”
