Virginia [U.S.], October 6 (ANI): As the U.S. Navy marks 250 years since its establishment, President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth joined the celebrations aboard the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier at the Naval Station in Norfolk.
During the ceremony, Melania Trump praised the sacrifices and bravery of U.S. Navy personnel. She recalled her visit to the USS George H.W. Bush in 2018 and commended the pride and professionalism of the sailors.
“It is an honor to be with you to celebrate the 250th year since the United States Navy was officially established. Generations of sailors have kept America free because of their presence on the high seas. Your strength, bravery, and sacrifice inspire us all. The President and I just attended an extraordinary demonstration—an inspiring display of skills that reflects the very best of our Navy,” said the First Lady. Her office shared the remarks in a post on X.
Sharing President Trump’s remarks, the White House wrote on X, “Through the spray of raging combat and the fog of naval war, America’s sailors have proven time and again that our Navy does just the best job there is… We own the skies, we stalk the depths, and we RULE THE SEAS.”
In another post, the White House added, “250 years of the greatest fighting force ever to roam the seas—the United States Navy.”
CNN reported that Sunday’s event, titled “Titans of the Sea,” was organized to showcase the U.S. Navy’s cutting-edge fleet and to inspire the next generation of warriors to carry America’s strength across every ocean, according to a release from the organizers. (ANI)
