DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. (AP) — President Donald Trump is making an unannounced trip to honor the returning remains of a U.S. Navy SEAL killed during a weekend raid on an al-Qaida base in Yemen.
Trump was to arrive Wednesday afternoon at Delaware's Dover Air Force Base.
Chief Special Warfare Operator William "Ryan" Owens, a 36-year-old from Peoria, Illinois, was the first known U.S. combat casualty since Trump took office less than two weeks ago. Three other Americans were wounded in the operation, which was planned by former President Barack Obama's administration but approved by Trump.
Trump was expected to join Owens' family for a private ceremony.
The trip was not on Trump's public schedule. A small group of journalists traveled with Trump on the condition that the visit was not reported in advance.
Awesome
ReplyDeleteWe love Pesident Trump .
God bless the fallen warrior and may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteA true President does things like this because it's the least he can do for the men who die for our country to remain a free & sovereign nation. Like I've said many times, President Trump is the first real President we've had since President Reagan.
ReplyDeleteThis is what a President is supposed to be, a leader honoring those who sacrifice. What we had for the last eight years was an insult.
ReplyDeleteObama probably called the al-Qaida group to congratulate them. Finally after 8 years of a traitor we have someone in the oval office that respects it and loves the country.
ReplyDeleteThe press is going absolutely NUTS over this because Trump went UNANNOUNCED. You see, Trump must get their permission first, NOT! Trump goes by the beat of his own drum, I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteTaps for Chief Owens, prayers to his family and kudos to our Commander-in-Chief.
ReplyDeleteBoth just earned even more respect from our country.
Thank you to both for keeping our county safer.
I see that a "small group" of reporters went with him. Be interesting to see what media outlets they represent. Let the name calling begin!
ReplyDeleteTHIS is how you honor our heroes. So impressed he did this. He stands up for our military, our veterans, our law enforcement and first responders. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteGod bless the family of the Fallen soldier, and our president for his thoughtful gesture.
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess it really is unannounced since we knew about it as it was happening.
ReplyDeleteGo back to mommys basement snowflake have you ever served ? dirtbag.
DeleteNice job 5:14pm. I was thinking the same thing.
DeleteThis is awesome! A true President! So refreshing to see after 8 years of Hell! Hey Democrats...what say you now ??
ReplyDeleteObama the pos would still be on the golf course.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Trump despite some concerns. Anything was better than Hillary. I have to say, despite the whining and wheezing from the lunatic left, I do not think he has made one mis-step yet.
ReplyDeleteYou will NEVER see this on the evening news.
ReplyDeleteABC CBS and NBC are nothing but lying commie bastards
" Obama the pos would still be on the golf course.."
ReplyDeleteYou're right, because he never would have approved the mission in the first place.
Yeah he just releases High profile terrorist from Gitmo to go back in the field to kill civilians and us soldiers he is was and is the worst pt president this WORLD has ever had unless your a muslim welfare loving anti american pos.
DeleteAmen.
Delete6:50 🙌🏻
DeleteAnd he salutes the lance corp as well never saw that last waste of 8 years ever salute any military personnel.
ReplyDeleteI had in the back of my mind when I saw on here this Seal had passed that he would be there for the fallen family.
Glad to see this from my President.

Thank you for protecting America.)
DeleteSo glad to have a president I can respect again. GOD bless the USA.
ReplyDelete5:52 - this was planned under Obama.
ReplyDeleteAnd executed under Trump. It would never have received the green light under Obama.
Delete@9:03 that's because Obummer doesn't have a set 😏 Whether it was approved by obummer or not he stil would not have paid his respect because he is a Muslim sympathizer.
DeleteYeah obama only green lights the Release of known terrorists back home from gitmo.
DeletePrayers to the Owens' family and RIP Chief Special Warfare Operator William "Ryan" Owens. Thank you sir.
ReplyDeleteAnd respect goes to President Trump for his actions.
Much better than the fat failed candidate that went to Dover, just to lie to the families.
7:21. It was planned by military personnel while Obama was POTUS but NOT APPROVED. Not sure if you know how things work at the Pentagon. Many missions are practiced and suggested but the affirmation must come from the WH. Just like the raid on Bin laden, ST6 leader William O'Neil told me that it was planned several months before Obama knew about it. They even constructed a mock compound to practice. Obama finally grew a pair and let it happen after months of convincing him. Obama sits to pee.
