Did Trump ever get around to honoring Vets last week?

I've looked around and cannot find if Donald ever made a statement honoring our nation's vets. I did see a tweet he made that day about some newspaper he didn't like. You'd think a President-Elect would be there for them. Sad.

so it was too little, too late.

Altho, as a President Elect, there was not much he could formally do except release a heartfelt comment.

It was not heartfelt, it was a comment.

He prefers veterans who were NOT captured.

He honors veterans who DON'T have PTSD. You know, the STRONG ones.

I doubt that he'll help the V.A.
