Donald J. Trump

They have crossed icy canals.

leapt from burning wreckage, plunged into frigid waters, soared into deadly skies, and slashed across the mine-infested bays to claim American victory and to defend the cause of liberty, to defend, quite frankly, the American flag.

In every era,

And every part of this globe, our sailors have fought with courage in their hearts, patriotism in their souls, and salt water in their veins.

Do you have that salt water?

Don't let the doctors change it.

Keep it.

Because there's nothing like it.

There's no blood like it.

And standing before all of you today, I know that whatever our nation is threatened and whenever they need help,

Whenever duty calls, American sailors will hoist our flag high and they will rally to Admiral Farragut's immortal battle cry, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead go, you son of a gun.

With your help, we will fight, fight, fight.

We will win, win, win.

Because of you, our Navy and our country will always be proud and righteous and mighty and free.

Congratulations once again on 250 years of total dominance.

Sail fast.

Stay strong.

Thank you.

God bless our sailors, and God bless the United States of America.

Thank you very much, everybody.
