That sometimes sets americans against one another and instead make big goals and ive set forth some big goal, getting the economy to work for everyone, not just those at the top. Making sure we have the best Education System from preschool to college and making it affordable and so much else. If we set those goals and go together to try to achieve them, theres nothing in my opinion that america cant do. So thats why i hope that we will come together in this campaign. Obviously, im hoing to earn your vote, hoping to be b elected in november and i can promise you, i will work with every american. I want to be the president for all americans. Regardless of your political beliefs, where you come from, what you look like, your religion. I want us heal our country and bring it together. Our children and grandchildren deserve. Thank you. You have two minutes. Well, i actually agree with that. I agree with everything she said. I began this campaign because i was so tired of seeing such foolish
values can be, but america needs to be vigilant, monitor and make sure that no one challenges these values. we salute captain kahn. mr. kahn, thank you so much for being here. thank you. still to come, your best and worst tweets and facebook comments. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.

so good continues to come out of that sacrifice and that 27 years that we were blessed to have him in our lives. so that s the story of goodness of america. the benefits, the dig any tiz that this constitution of our founding documents bestow upon all citizens, i implore and i appeal to all americans. captain kahn has written an article then that is so applies today. the title of the article was democracy requires vigilance and sacrifice. look where we are standing today. how much our democracy requires vigilance against the division from within and the assault from outside. those who don t wish us well have assaulted our way of life, our values, our democracy. we narrate that through our story that how fragile these
these moments are awful. just awful. and the problem that president trump might have here, however, is that when it comes to sensitivity about service and sacrifice specifically, he s already made what critics have assessed to be some bad decisions. go back to 2015, his attack on senator mccain, who spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war, he was tortured, he was suicidal. as the son and grandson of admirals, he was asked to leave early but mccain refused to do it in deference to the p.o.w.s who had been there longer this is how trump saw it. he s a war hero because he was captured. i like people who aren t captured and then there was the gold star parents of captain
