Trump visits US troops at Walter Reed
By Jordan Fabian - 12/21/17 03:09 PM EST

President Trump is visiting wounded U.S. soldiers on Thursday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center just outside Washington, D.C.
 
“We'll be over there for a while, but we're just going to wish them a merry Christmas,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House.
 
He called the soldiers “some of the bravest people anywhere in the world.”
 
The visit comes one day before Trump is scheduled to leave the nation’s capital to spend the holidays at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

Trump delivers purple heart to wounded soldier at Walter Reed
The Hill, Dec 21, 2017, Josh Delk

President Trump bestowed the Purple Heart to a wounded Army lieutenant on Thursday during his visit with injured U.S. soldiers at Walter Reed National Medical Center.

The president gave the medal to First Lieutenant Victor Prato, 25, who was wounded in November during a deployment to Afghanistan where an IED blast caused his vehicle to roll over, inflicting multiple soft tissue injuries.

Trump visited service members of all military branches at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, D.C., keeping with a longstanding tradition of presidents visiting wounded soldiers during the holidays. Trump called them, "some of the bravest people anywhere in the world."

“We'll be over there for a while, but we're just going to wish them a Merry Christmas,” Trump told reporters on his way to the hospital from the White House.

Why @mystery-ak was it necessary to hide the President's awarding the Purple Heart?

I made this a separate thread for a reason ... it deserved to be.

Are we no longer allowed to post threads that honor our military and the CIC separately from benign, BS threads?

Just let me know @mystery-ak ... and I'll stop honoring our troops and the CIC they respect and love on this forum.

You know you could always volunteer to be a mod...if you don't like the way posts are handled.

I mean since you try to act like one anyway.

Or maybe just PM the owner instead of purposely going all  drama queen in public to try and purposely embarrass the owner.

You're so too effing self involved with everything being about you to realize that the pics you posted...plus the story that @mystery-ak posted are the SAME DAMN SUBJECT.  Ergo...they go together and as such...were merged.

But hey...why should you use logic and reason when you can just go all dramariffic and make it...again...all about you and your fake persecution.

BTW...if you want me to "butt out"...don't vent your spleen in public about your false persecution.

Send it in a PM to the owner.

Then no one will be able to say a word about your idiocy.

You know @txradioguy, you could be quiet and let people wonder if you're wrong, but you insist on posting and proving it.

I am not self-involved...most especially when it comes to our military and CIC.  They both deserve our full attention and respect ...even if it means a separate thread.

So go away @txradioguy ... do whatever you do to help you get through a day and leave me the hell alone.

@mystery-ak

Thanks for proving my point.

Again...if you don't want people to comment...make your comments in private.

Once you start venting your spleen in the open forum...it's open season for anyone to comment.

But you of all people should know that because you seem to not heed your own advice to butting out of other people's conversations on a frequent basis.

For heavens sake I was the one who posted the Walter Reed story to begin with..sheesh!

A MOD merged the two articles as it should have been.

Do us all a favor @txradioguy and @Right_in_Virginia I suggest you both use the ignore feature.

It's called projection.

In a blatant attempt at getting this thread back on topic, I'm sure this cheered up most (if not all) of the troops over at Walter Reed.  Good job by the President and good job by VP Pence to visit the troops in Afghanistan.

Even someone who  actively despises the president still can appreciate his respect for the military, I should think. Or can't you give even the "stopped clock is right twice a day" benefit of the doubt?

Anyway, these pics are very nice and I like seeing them.  Trump looks as though he really enjoys being with those guys.
