When I went to honor the fallen Service Members from the 103rd Sustainment Command at Dover Air Force Base last March, I realized that words cannot comfort the all-consuming grief that family members, and mothers in particular, experience. Their loss is overwhelming. Although I understand the deep pride these families feel in their loved ones’ service to our great republic, I cannot fathom the depths of their sorrow.
A mother is awestruck when she welcomes her child into the world. After nine months, the miracle of life creates a fascinating bond between mother and child. With each breath, day by day, this bond deepens, bringing forth emotions never felt before. Quite frankly, these are emotions understood only by women. Only a mother can carry this type of powerful connection with her child, which is also too profound for words.
This is a time of military conflict for America. And whereby we honor our selfless and valiant Service Members regularly, today is the day we hold their mothers in the highest regard. It is these military mothers who find themselves alone, awake in their thoughts, in the darkest hours of the night. Of course, we must also remember the mothers with a spouse overseas, praying for a safe return so their family can become whole once again.
At the very heart of America’s strength lies the boundless love and quiet power of mothers. We are the most devoted teachersgently nurturing empathy, inspiring dreams, and guiding our children towards goodness. We help them rise with courage when life grows difficult. In every hug, every story read at bedtime, and every sacrifice made without complaint, mothers build the moral foundation of our families.
In doing so, America’s mothers help build the soul of our nation. I pray you find enduring strength as your loved one serves in defense of our freedom.
Most know my husband as the strong Commander in Chief, but his empathy transcends the role and shapes a caring leader who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone’s child. Distinguished guests, please join me with a warm welcome for our President, Donald J. Trump.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In-Town Pool #6 - Iran remarks
President Trump briefly addressed Iran:
“So we're we're dealing with people that want to make a deal very much, see whether or not they can make a deal dissatisfactory to us. We have it very much under control. The blockade is unbelievable. The Navy has been incredible. The job they did…it's like a wall of steel. Nobody goes through. In particular the Iranians, they're not getting anything through one way or the other, so they're out of business. And we'll see whether or not they are agreeing, and if they don't agree, they'll end up agreeing shortly thereafter. So that's the way it is, and I thought you might want to have a little rundown. Now the fake news is all happy to hear what we have to say.”
Prior to Trump being introduced by First Lady Trump discussed the sacrifice and “quiet power” of military mothers.
Trump smiled as FLOTUS complimented him.
POTUS recognized VP Vance and said the administration is doing “unbelievably well.”
“Greatest military in the world by far—not even close.”
POTUS said, like the border, he inherited military “mess” but now have the “strongest military.”
