First, I salute and celebrate our soldiers, all our people in our Armed Forces. I honor them all and especially honor those who so unselfishly gave their lives.
This is unequivocal.
I do not apologize for America.
I am not ashamed of my country or what it stands for.
Despite its shortcomings, I am proud of my country. I am proud of what it does for the world. No other country does what it does, is as generous as it is.
Period.
To those of you who have forgotten this, don’t believe it or would tear America down, America allows you to leave any time you want. Don’t let the door hit you where The Good Lord split you.
