JD Vance Delivers Independence Day Speech at U.S. Navy Reenlistment Ceremony, Calls on All to Embrace America’s ‘Grace and Greatness’ (VIDEO)

Vice President JD Vance delivered an excellent Independence Day message on Saturday during a reenlistment ceremony for the U.S. Navy, aboard the USS Kearsarge in New York Harbor.

Vance urged all present to reject the two-dimensional message of the left which seeks to denigrate America’s history and meaning, and called on everyone to embrace the country’s ‘grace and greatness.’

The speech was obviously meant to be a response to Zohran Mamdani and others on the left who are incapable of seeing America as the beacon of hope and freedom that it truly is.

From Breitbart News:

Speaking aboard the USS Kearsarge in the New York harbor, Vance spoke about how as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday, people would “hear a couple small, but loud voices today speak obsessively” about the country’s imperfections.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have to address what you will hear from some loud voices today. Because as much as all of us, whether we’re Democrat or Republican, whatever our political persuasion — all of us are celebrating ,” he said. “But you’ll hear a couple small but loud voices today speak obsessively not of our national greatness, but of our national imperfections.”

Vance went on to state that people who bash the United States “will speak of the powerless and the dispossessed” and about how “America is just another country where the weak struggle against the strong.”

He pointed out that “these people misunderstand the essence of America, from Thomas Jefferson to Henry Kaiser.” They also “misunderstand that we all have moments of great power,” despite having imperfections, he said.

“What I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two-dimensional view of your fellow citizens, and reject the two-dimensional view of your country,” Vance continued. “Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness.”

Vance was an outstanding choice by Trump for Vice President.

He proves it every time he speaks.
