On the 11th, Veterans Day in the United States (local time), President-elect Donald Trump paid tribute to veterans.

On the morning of the day, Trump posted a brief message on his Truth Social saying "Happy Veterans day" along with a photo of a salute against the backdrop of the American flag. However, Trump did not post any other messages on social media.

His wife, Melania Trump, also posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Today we honor and pay tribute to all veterans who have bravely served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication inspire us all."

JD Vance, the vice president-elect and a Marine Corps veteran, also said on X, "Thank you to all veterans who have worn this country's uniform. In a nation blessed with tremendous natural resources, perhaps the most precious resource is the millions willing to wear the uniform and serve."
