Under the Trump Administration, the @DeptVetAffairs is restructuring to put veterans at the forefront of every decision.
The Trump Admin is working tirelessly to provide our veterans with the resources and support they so dearly deserve. ⤵️

Vice President JD Vance on the importance of fighting for our veterans:
“One of the most important things our veterans do is not just fight for their country, they fight for their fellow veterans. And let me say, as one veteran to the next, we are picking up that torch every single day. We will never leave our veterans behind. Ladies and gentlemen, that is my most sacred promise to every person here today.”

Veterans dedicated their lives to defending this nation, and now many are helping us feed it. Agriculture offers Veterans an opportunity to build businesses and support their families and communities. I’m proud to join @SecRollins , @SBA_Kelly and @USDA today to honor the Veterans who found a way to keep serving our country.

Happy 251st Birthday to @USMC. Today, we celebrate the proud legacy of the Marine Corps and thank all Marines, past and present, for their service and sacrifice.
Happy 251st Marines!
For 251 years, Marines have stood ready to fight and win our Nation’s battles. Since before the first days of the American Revolution to the engagements of today, the Marine Corps has served as a decisive naval and amphibious force, projecting power, defending our interests, and helping turn the tide in conflicts around the world.
Across every clime and place, Marines remain ready to be the first to fight whenever and wherever our Nation needs them. As America’s 9-1-1 force, the Marine Corps continues to set the standard for readiness, resolve, and warfighting excellence.
Semper Fidelis & Happy Birthday, Marines!
(Narrated by Honorary Marine Gary Sinise)

Vice President JD Vance on the Trump Administration's commitment to supporting veteran owned small businesses:
"Under the President's leadership, we are going to put hundreds of millions of dollars this year and I think billions of dollars over the next couple of years, in continuing to support our veteran owned small businesses... I'd much rather rely on my fellow citizens to build and make and create the economy of the future because I know that my fellow citizens are going to be there. Not just for me, not just for my family, but for everybody in the United States of America."
