Watch President Trump honor the widow of Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens.
With almost 2 minutes of applause for the Widow of fallen Brother Chief Owens, it is very moving to see the respect that was given.
I did notice however that there were multiple Democrats sitting and refusing to applaud this lady and hero fallen Hero Husband for their sacrifice. How dare they?!
They should be ashamed to be sitting in the positions they’re in and to use those positions to show such disrespect for the fighting men and women of our Nation. These people are in my honest opinion scum. They’re entitled to their views, but they should remember who it is that fought, bled and died to allow them the opportunity to have those views. Ungrateful Vermin.
President Trump showed nothing but respect and class, delivering his best speech to date. I truly feel that he will fight tooth and nail to make this country “Great Again”
In an emotional moment that drew the largest applause of the night, President Trump paid tribute Tuesday to the widow of U.S. Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, who was killed in a counterterrorism raid in Yemen last month.
“Our veterans have delivered for this nation—and now we must deliver for them,” Trump said in his address to a joint session of Congress as he introduced Carryn Owens, who elicited an extended standing ovation from the entire chamber.
“Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero – battling against terrorism and securing our nation,” Trump said.
Owens’ widow could be seen sobbing as the chamber applauded.
William “Ryan” Owens, a 36-year-old father of three, was the only U.S. victim in the Jan. 27 raid on a suspected Al Qaeda compound. At least 16 civilians and 14 militants were killed in the operation, which the Pentagon said was aimed at capturing information on potential Al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. and its allies.
Trump said he met with Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, and quoted him as saying, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” (Read More)
