Watch President Donald Trump’s Full July 4th ‘Salute To America’ Military Event | NBC News

[DrGrandDaddyPurple]

most of this speech was thanking citizens and listing the best accomplishments of America. How could you spin this as a bad thing?

[NoneHandle]

I’m not even American or live in the USA but

This was awesome.

Military Display! NBC can't even just say independence parade?

[stayingsaneamidtheinsanity]

I've seen nothing like this in my lifetime. It's a throwback to something from the past.

[Carrots]

Military display, NBC, really? That’s all you saw. I saw so much more than that and loved what I saw and heard.

It is the Soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

I'm glad he did this. People celebrate teams who take a knee and win games why not celebrate the military who really make sacrifices for this country.

[sjm]

NBC messed with the audio and you cannot hear the enthusiasm and applause, which was actually prolific. Shame on the MSM, yet again.

[stephenmcoppock]

The title at the bottom is very misleading. This was not a July 4th Military Display! This was a celebration of 243 years of freedom & our military was honored!! The best July 4th EVER! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 President Trump 2020!!!

[ITStechy]

If I recall, the last president went to Hawaii on the taxpayers dime instead of celebrating with our great armed services all the accomplishments and sacrifices they have made. Actions are louder than words!

[rogercollins]

Hope this becomes a national tradition. Put politics and personal opinion aside for 1 day and talk about what we as a country has gone through, honoring all those that made the greatest sacrifice. I thought this was fantastic.

Happy 4th Of July Everyone !!! God Bless The United States Of America

[godisgoodallthetime]

For one. I'm grateful for his celebration. Coming from a military family who've given three lives in defense of this country.

[MATHelection]

he loves this country so much. this country is so very full of history and so many lost their lives to defend it. God Bless America and President Trump.

[ytb]

I didn't expect him to keep his centrepiece speech so free of politics. This is probably the day DJT cemented his 2020 reelection...

[eduardoapolinario]

Sometimes I feel like people have been hating on Trump for stupid and silly reasons. You gotta admit the man has been doing a good job, even though you don't like him.

[sircuckington]

Australian here, would like to thank you all in advance for when Trump is voted in again in 2020. God bless America and Trump. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[datsshowbiz]

Happy Independence Day America, God bless USA.
From Australia with love.

[darlenebriscoe]

Shame on you for not airing this on TV... you lavish in all the Great Freedoms of this land America yet you don’t air something as Special as a Celebration of America! Shame on all you

[davidpulanco]

Even though I don't support military displays, this was better than I expected. Typically, when you think of a military parade, you think of those done by Russia and North Korea to show off power. This display was not to show power, but appreciation for our troops.
