President Trump took the opportunity to inspire the Navy, reflecting on a motto that embodies their tenacity: “give ’em hell!” He lauded the indomitable spirit of American sailors across generations, stating, “For two and a half centuries, that is what every generation of American sailors have done. You’ve conquered raging oceans and braved ferocious storms to vanquish America’s enemies on the high seas and distant shores.”
“The American sailor never quits, never fails, and never, ever lets us down,” he continued, echoing a resilient ethos that resonates beyond the military.
