President Trump pays powerful tribute to America's heroes at Arlington

We come today to these Howell grounds, and they are indeed very special. Rolling Hills and all the names of our great heroes etched in stone to honor 250 years of service, valor, and sacrifice unsurpassed in all of the ages. On Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying gratitude to every patriot who has answered the call of duty. And I will never allow anyone to hurt our country. We're not going to allow anyone to hurt or damage our country with bad, foolish, horrible ideology. I'm not going to let it happen. And everyone knows what I mean. This Veterans Day, I also want to say a very special thanks to every service member currently working to ensure that the world's number one state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran, will never have a nuclear weapon. America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979. This should have been taken care of a long time ago. Under this administration, thank you. Under this administration, and it was about time, somebody fought back. All of us fought back. We fought back. And we seriously fought back. And we won. Just a question of when we want to end it. We want to make sure we have a total victory, not a 93% victory. It's going to be total. We had Venezuela where we're. Taking out billions and billions of dollars of oil and all sorts of other things. The hundreds of billions very soon. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And we paid for the cost of the war many, many times over already. Nobody has ever even envisioned that. To the victor belong the spoils, they used to say. And soon we're going to dedicate a magnificent, triumphal arc to our veterans. And that's in honor of our great veterans and our great militaries. They've been waiting for it for 200 years.
