To the American people:

Recent baseless media attacks against President Trump from anonymous sources are just another example of
the depths to which the President’s opponents are willing to descend to divide the nation and meddle in this
election. Anyone who knows President Trump has seen his love and reverence for our military and veterans.
That is why we, veterans from every generation, are writing today to reaffirm our support for President
Trump.

We heard these same attacks in 2018 immediately following the President’s trip to Paris, and they are just as
fake now as they were then. The false allegations center on the President’s canceled trip to a military cemetery,
which has been proven to be a “bad weather call” made for safety and security reasons. This has been proven
by internal White House emails from the time, as well as by documents from the U.S. Navy, which clearly
described weather as the reason for the cancellation. While the media relied on four anonymous individuals to
manufacture the story, many more current and former White House officials have stepped forward and, on
the record, refuted these baseless allegations. These on-the-record voices include the Secret Service agent in
charge of the President’s detail and John Bolton – a vocal critic of the President – who described the “bad
weather call” in his book and now says he did not hear the President say the things being attributed to him.
No one should take this story seriously.

Throughout his administration, President Trump has consistently stood by our men and women in uniform
and cared for them once they have returned to civilian life. From groundbreaking legislation that provides
veterans with real and permanent health care choice, to the largest-ever investment in the United States
military, to his firm commitment to preventing endless wars and bringing troops home, President Trump has
demonstrated his unwavering support for America’s service members time and time again. Moreover, he has
spent countless hours as president visiting battlefields and cemeteries, honoring Gold Star families and
comforting them in their grief, and praising wounded warriors and honoring their sacrifice.

The Mainstream Media hurled this baseless attack against President Trump because they know Joe Biden’s
record simply does not stand up to scrutiny, and they seek to distract the American people from that fact.
Under the Obama-Biden Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs was a disaster and our military
was decimated. Today, Joe Biden is running on a radical left-wing agenda that would further weaken America’s
security and standing in the world. Joe Biden’s friends in the media know he does not deserve the support of
our nation’s service members, so they have fabricated a total lie in a desperate attempt to attack their
opponent.

The American people have learned to discount lies spewed by anonymous sources and paraded around by a
biased media bent on destroying the President. President Trump’s tireless efforts to strengthen and support
the military community are a part of his indisputable record. He has done more for our nation’s service
members and veterans than any previous administration. The veteran community firmly rejects these lies from
the mainstream media, and we stand by our Commander-in-Chief, now, and on Election Day.
