President Trump made a trip to the key battleground state of North Carolina on Wednesday to commemorate 75-years since the formal victory of the U.S. over Japan, which ended WWII.
He delivered remarks in front of the historic Battleship North Carolina, which is located in Wilmington. During his speech, the president officially granted Wilmington the honor of being the first American WWII heritage city.
“With this designation we proudly declare that in America we don’t tear down the past, we celebrate our heroes,” President Trump stated. “We cherish our heritage, we preserve our history and we build the future.”
