And in the holiday spirit here, the president is giving thanks to americans who deserve it most, like the men you just saw there. Our u. S. Military overseas. He talked earlier to video to troops Via Video Conference in iraq and turkey, afghanistan, the persian gulf and the Arabian Peninsula and those assisting in syria, and he also visited a coast guard station there in florida where he spotlighted the 16,000 lives the coast guard saved after hurricane harvey. Think about that for a second. And as the president heaped a lot of praise, of course, to those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, he also hailed his own achievements. We opened it up. We said, go ahead, were going to fight to win. Were not fighting anymore to just walk around. Were fighting to win. And you people are really youve turned it around o
