America first and peace through strength with common sense.

at every turn.

At the War Department, it is the War Department, we're committed to that core mission of peace through strength.

And for the Navy, that means more sailors, more subs, more ships, and more munitions for all of them.

The Navy and the Marine Corps embody the resilience of our country.

Nobody, nobody in the world does it better than the United States Navy.

Always remember this.

You are not civilians.

You are different.

Sailors, SEALs, Marines, you were set apart for a distinct purpose.

Your diversity is not your strength.

Your strength is your unity of purpose, your shared mission, your love of country.

Generation after generation, battle after battle, ship after ship, sailor after sailor, you have set the tone.

The story began with John Paul Jones when he declared, I have not yet begun to fight.

Today, we have a commander in chief who fights for all of you and fights for our country every single day.

A commander-in-chief who guarantees that you, the warfighters, have everything you need on the high seas to deter our enemies and, if necessary, win overwhelmingly.

We have a president who appreciates your dedication.

He appreciates your service, your sacrifice, and that of your family as well.

And as I always tell every service member, every sailor I see, he has your back.

So warfighters, on behalf of everyone at the Department of War, thank you.
