As I watched wave after wave of America’s airpower pass over our nation’s capital during our 250th birthday, I felt a deep sense of pride in our military heroes who fly the aircraft and the skilled American workers who maintain and build them. God bless America, and may the sound of freedom be afterburners!

President Donald Trump loves a military parade, and not since Ronald Reagan has any president proposed such a large increase in military spending. In fact, his proposed Department of War budget is larger than the military budgets of China, Russia, India, and Germany combined. It is clear that Trump loves the military and is willing to use it. Just ask Ali Khamenei, Qasem Soleimani, and Nicolas Maduro if there is any doubt.
