(audience applauding) - Hi, good afternoon, good morning. My name is Kristi Shamblin, and my daughter-in-law was Sergeant Nicole Leanne Gee, and she was killed in the botched Afghanistan exit at Abbey Gate. She was the cornerstone of a very large family. And instead of planning family gatherings, and holiday meals and Christmases, and baby showers, our family and thousands of other families, planned outings at funeral grave sites, and that is where we as a family celebrate my daughter-in-law at Arlington National Cemetery because she is in the ground. Her story isn't unique to our family, she's just ours. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of wounded veterans who came home from that war, who need our help and who are ignored by our current administration. President Trump demonstrates peace through strength. I know what he told the Taliban when he was negotiating with them because I've made it my business to know. And what he said to them when he was negotiating with the Taliban, he said, "I will kill you if you harm one hair "on one head of an American." (audience cheers) President Trump shows up, he reaches out, and he can fix our country, and we can all heal together. (audience cheers) (applause)
