- He stated that although the United States emerged victorious in both wars and surpassed others in power, courage, and military skill, there is a lack of recognition for these achievements, which he attributed to ineffective leadership today.
- The declaration has drawn widespread criticism due to Trump’s past disparagement of veterans and attempts to rename Veterans Day, suggesting potential diplomatic and domestic controversy.
