Protecting our homeland is an absolute necessity. It is the very reason the @usnavy and @marines exist. But defending our nation comes with a profound cost.

We will be judged not just on how we defend our country, but on how we care for those who answer the call. This is our responsibility.

Proud to stand with our South Korean allies. Yesterday, I hosted Republic of Korea Minister of National Defense Ahn Gyu-back and Ambassador Kang Kyung-wha to discuss our shared strategic priorities and the future of our maritime partnership.

Interoperability. Collaboration. Cooperation.

All are necessary to deter aggression and maintain a free and open maritime domain.

Thank you to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense for hosting the @usnavycno, @usmc_commandant, and me.

It is always an honor to have the opportunity to champion the amazing men and women of the @usnavy and @marines.

Sailors and Marines are the true foundation of the Golden Fleet—our fleet of the future.

Amateurs talk tactics, professionals invest in logistics.

Today, we funded another critical fleet replenishment oiler to be built at General Dynamics-National Steel and Shipbuilding Corporation in San Diego.

The Department of the Navy continues to deliver a modern Combat Logistics Force, reinforcing the global reach and sustained lethality of our Sailors and Marines at sea.

Shipbuilding Plan Delivered.

Let's get to work!

To all the mothers out there, for what you do every day and for loving your children, Happy Mother’s Day!

For over 250 years, the Marine Corps has been first to fight—defending our Nation, always forward, always ready, always faithful.

The absolute precision of the @marines during the Marine Barracks Washington Evening Parade embodies the Corps' warrior ethos and unbroken legacy of lethality.

Thank you, Marines, for a wonderful evening. Semper Fi!

Proud to stand beside the warriors of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group who keep America’s shores safe and our global sea lanes secure. We look forward to welcoming you home. BZ!

My time spent aboard USS Bainbridge this past week reinforced why the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer continues to be the workhorse of our Fleet.

Today, we funded two more DDG 51 Flight III class ships.

From the Great White Fleet to the Golden Fleet, our Navy has maintained maritime dominance. With today's action, our shipbuilders will soon be at work delivering more of these lethal warfighting platforms. Let's go!

I recently returned from a visit to the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group for one reason: to personally thank America’s sons and daughters for completing a long, demanding deployment—from the High North to combat operations in South America and the Middle East.

Our @usnavy and @marines showed both allies and adversaries the grit and resilience that have defined the United States for 250 years.

I couldn’t be more proud to call these men and women my shipmates. They’ve taken care of us—now it’s our turn to take care of them.

Hooyah. Semper Fi.

They say an EOD tech dies twice— the first when their heart stops, the second when their name is no longer spoken.

Today, at the EOD Memorial Wall at Eglin Air Force Base, we spoke every name.

We honor warriors who walked the long, lonely path toward danger so others could live. They didn’t do it for glory, fame, or medals. They did it because the mission demanded it—and because lives depended on it.

We remember how they lived. We carry them forward. They will never be forgotten.
