I would like to praise President Donald Trump’s speech to congress.
He spoke on many important projects the administration is proposing.
Like rebuilding America, immigration reform, health care, ways to address crime, hate, jobs, tax cuts and a increase in military spending.
But what got to me most and almost brought a tear to my eye was the mentioning of the death of a Navy Seal in the line of duty.
He said, “We are blessed to be joined tonight by Caryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William Ryan Owens.
Ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero — battling against terrorism and securing our nation,” Trump said.
This was received with almost a two-minute applause and brought his widow almost to tears.
This was a great tribute by President Trump, which in my opinion honored a Navy Seal who gave his all to America.
As a former U.S. Sailor in the U.S. Navy, I salute Senior Chief Owens.
I would also like to offer my heartfelt prayers to his wife, Caryn, who has lost so much as well as all of America.
