Michael Waltz: Be Worthy. A Green Beret's Message to America

Michael Waltz shares the personal message that motivates him every day: be worthy. Speaking at CPAC, the former Green Beret reflects on the sacrifice of fallen service members, the responsibility of American citizenship, and why honoring those who gave their lives means living with purpose and gratitude.

Holding a bracelet in memory of a fellow Green Beret lost in combat, Waltz explains how that reminder inspires him to serve his country each day. He also reflects on the challenges facing America in recent years, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, global conflicts, and border security, while expressing optimism about the nation's future under President Donald Trump's leadership. Waltz closes with a heartfelt call for every American to live in a way that is worthy of the sacrifices made by the nation's military and Gold Star families.
