Shortly thereafter, Trump’s Memorial Day 2021 statement declared that the purity of the military heroes’ sacrifice remains unrivaled. The former president didn’t stop there, though; he also stated that fallen heroes sacrificed for the safety and success of Americans.
After stating that Americans will remain forever loyal to deceased military heroes and their families, Trump continued. The 45th president then proclaimed that the honor of the fallen military officers shall remain ongoing, not just today, but throughout eternity.
Freedom Isn’t Free
Across social media, Americans are acknowledging the ultimate sacrifices made by the military. Both “#MemorialDay” and “#veterans” trended on Twitter today as Americans weighed in.
Many people made a point of acknowledging that freedom in the United States is far from free. Republican leaders especially also pointed out that Americans have a duty to live up to sacrifices made by fallen members of the U.S. military. This means not just celebrating freedom, but also defending it.
