Aboard USS Gerald R. Ford, we saluted those who will defend our flag on the newest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the history of our world.  In Ohio, I delivered a very special award to a heroic military survivor from the Pearl Harbor attack \u2013 long ago, but he is still in great shape.  At the White House, we have bestowed the Medal of Valor on the brave police officers who saved so many lives after a gunman opened fire on lawmakers during a Congressional baseball practice \u2013 they were very, very brave, and they truly did save lives.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen src='http:\/\/americanherald.us\/?attachment_id=1510&#038;kgvid_video_embed[enable]=true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='640' height='360'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And today in New York, we thank the law enforcement officers who are going after violent criminals and MS-13 gang members and restoring safety and peace to our communities. <\/p>\n<p>All American heroes \u2013 whether they patrol the oceans, protect our Capitol, safeguard our streets, or serve in many other ways \u2013 share a common bond: They believe in America, they love our citizens, and they will stop at nothing to defend our safety and our freedom. <\/p>\n<p>That is why we honor our heroes and work hard every day to build an America that is worthy of their sacrifices. <\/p>\n<p>The source of America\u2019s strength is found in the spirit of our people.  The heroes among us represent that American spirit: courage, love, and sacrifice.  Our hearts are filled with pride and gratitude for all those who, for over two centuries, have secured our nation and protected our citizens.  <\/p>\n<p>Throughout our history, heroes have answered the call of duty to defend our country in its hour of need \u2013 and they\u2019re always there for us.  And frankly, one of the great privileges and joys of serving as President of the United States is getting to spend time with these incredible Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Our heroes show us who we are as a nation and a people.  They remind us that every citizen is capable of greatness, and they renew the promise that America will grow stronger and greater than ever before \u2013 and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing right now.  Look at all the jobs that are coming in.  Look at what\u2019s happening with the stock markets.  Look at so many things, where we\u2019re just getting bigger, better, and stronger \u2013 and never, ever forget our military, where we\u2019re adding billions and billions of dollars of new planes, new ships, and new equipment for our great soldiers and military personnel.<\/p>\n<p>After all, heroes are Made in America, and we have to take care of our heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC&#8230;My fellow Americans, This past week, we have celebrated, saluted, and honored American heroes who have devoted their lives to God, Family, and Country.
