Combat lethality and readiness - that should be the key focus of our military, and President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are reorienting our armed forces to focus on just that. There’s no second place in war.

PETE BUTTIGIEG: Every day I was in Afghanistan, I knew that I could die because of an intelligence failure. That if certain information about what I was doing got into the wrong hands, that that could cost me my life. But I also knew that everybody in my chain of command up and down, from the gunny sergeant sitting next to me in a vehicle to the colonel, to the then Secretary of Defense and President of the United States, took my security and the security of all of our troops seriously.

🇺🇦 The suspect in the murder of Parubiy confessed to the crime: "Yes, I killed him, because he was nearby. If I lived in Vinnytsia, I would be Petya (Poroshenko). I want to be sentenced quickly, exchanged for prisoners of war, and go to Russia to look for my son's body” He also added that the information that he was blackmailed by representatives of Russian special services is not true. He killed Parubiy on his own initiative. 1/

Senator Kelly: On my first combat mission, I nearly got shot down. If I found out later that happened because of a reckless action from the Secretary of Defense, I'd be pissed off. Pete Hegseth should be held accountable

Roddie Edmonds is a true American hero who saved hundreds of American Jewish soldiers at a Nazi POW Camp during WWII. I commend President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of the Army for finally awarding him the Medal of Honor he deserves.

THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: President Trump honors the life and service of Staff Sergeant Michael H. Ollis, who made the ultimate sacrifice serving his country in Afghanistan. In 2013, Michael used his body to protect a Polish soldier from a Taliban suicide bomber in a split-second act of bravery. Today, President Trump posthumously awarded SSG Ollis with the Medal of Honor for his heroism on that fateful day. Ollis' parents spent years campaigning for Michael to have his Distinguished Service Cross upgraded to the Medal of Honor.

This is John Chapman. The man that was not given a proper recognition at the medal of honor museum because of politics. The medal of honor museum needs to listen to the over 20,000 Americans that have requested that he be honored according to his sacrifice and heroism.

.Rand Paul has emerged as THE voice in the GOP who insists on limiting the size, scope, and spending of government. That he is one of very few Republicans to condemn apparent war crimes by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is a stain on his party but a testament to Senator Rand Paul's leadership.

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just told the story of Medal of Honor recipient John Ripley: "The date was Easter Sunday, 1972. His superiors ordered him to the pivotal Dong Ha Bridge with a simple command: STAND AND DIE. As Captain Ripley later recalled, 'The only way to stop the enemy was to destroy the bridge.' The mission was overwhelming and at first, Captain Ripley had no idea how he was gonna carry 500 pounds of explosives over there, but he still called his superior and said, 'I will destroy that bridge.'"

And in that one percent are those are those who go above and beyond. Our Medal of Honor recipient, Major Nicholas Dockery. The stories of these Americans begin with taking an oath to the Constitution—and asking for God's help. These Americans get up in the dark when others are still sleeping. They live by a creed that says, in part: 'I'm a member of a team... I will always place the mission first... I will never accept defeat... and I will never leave a fallen comrade behind.'"

It was a true privilege to recognize Army Master Sergeant Earl D. Plumlee (Ret.), a Medal of Honor recipient and a valuable friend whose actions exemplify extraordinary bravery and selflessness on this special Medal of Honor Day. On August 28, 2013, while serving in Afghanistan, Master Sergeant Plumlee charged into action following a suicide bombing that breached the perimeter of a Forward Operating Base located in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. Facing heavily armed insurgents, he engaged the enemy at close range, completely disregarding his own safety. Armed only with his pistol, he advanced toward the enemy, neutralizing multiple threats and saving the lives of his fellow soldiers.
