In town pool report #8- remarks end

The president ended his remarks at 12:21pm.

He spoke about the US celebrating Victory Day, changing the name of the Department of War and cutting the backlog of claims through the VA in nine months.

He said his administration “fired thousands of people who didn’t take care of our great veterans,” saying he replaced them with “people who love our veterans.”

Trump said he’s working to address homelessness among veterans, lowering veterans unemployment and thanked the veterans service organizations.

He told stories of veterans’ heroism, calling out some attendees at the event. And he discussed how the US military "obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities."

"With everything they had, they did one thing above all else, they put America first," Trump said of veterans to conclude his remarks.

"I want to stay thank you once again to every American veteran, you are very very special people and always in our heart."

The Army band led God Bless America while Trump and Vance looked on.
