President Trump Honors Veterans in Vietnam
This morning, in Da Nang, Vietnam, President Trump participated in a meet-and-greet with Vietnam War Veterans. The President expressed his gratitude for their service to the United States, and reaffirmed his commitment to honor the sacrifice of all Veterans and rebuild our military. After giving remarks, President Trump signed a proclamation to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War, part of an ongoing 13-year commemoration of their sacrifice for freedom.

“Our veterans are a national treasure, and I thank them all for their service, sacrifice, and patriotism. To each of you with me today, you are the heroes who fulfill your duty to our nation. And each of you, under the most difficult conditions, did what you had to do, and you did it well,” President Trump said.

Improving Services for American Vets
In honor of Veterans Day, Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin penned an op-ed in The Hill on recent developments in the Department of Veterans Affairs which will allow the department to provide services to veterans more effectively. These changes include improved internal accountability, same-day services for primary and mental health care, and an updated electronic health records system.

“This Veterans Day, we are redoubling our efforts to continue getting things done on behalf of those who have worn the uniform. Our veterans deserve no less,” Shulkin wrote.

On the Way to Historic Tax Reform
Yesterday's passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act through the House Ways and Means Committee is an important step toward providing historic tax relief for the American people. President Trump remains committed to providing tax cuts for middle income families, a simplified tax code, and lower rates for American businesses. There is still much to do, but the Administration remains confident that, through continued cooperation with Congress, we are on the way to achieving these priorities this year.
