Wesley Hunt

Our sweet Olivia is 6 today.
Hard to believe.

Happy Birthday 🎈

It’s a little big on him.

The confidence, however, fits perfectly.

1st CAV 🇺🇸

Two honor-roll students… and their head of security.🕶️

It is the honor of a lifetime to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Having served in the region both in combat as an Army officer and for two years as a diplomatic liaison in the Kingdom, I understand the strategic importance of the partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and the profound responsibility of this position.

Service has always defined my life.

My immediate family has given more than sixty years to our military.

My brother, sister, and I graduated from West Point, served in combat, and, at one point, were all deployed to Iraq simultaneously.

I am deeply grateful to President Trump for his confidence in me. When confirmed, I will serve with humility and honor, advance his vision of peace through strength and deepen this vital partnership.

GAMEDAY. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago…
America changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, I was a cadet at West Point, watching our nation come under attack in real time.

We knew almost immediately that the world we had prepared to serve in had changed, and that many of us would soon be called to war.

For my generation of West Pointers, the oath suddenly carried a different weight.

In the years that followed, I would find myself in the Middle East, flying an Apache over the skies of Baghdad on 55 combat air missions.

I served alongside extraordinary Americans who willingly placed themselves in harm’s way because our country had called.

But before we answered that call, others answered theirs.

Firefighters climbed those towers while others were desperately trying to escape.

NYPD officers and first responders ran toward unimaginable danger.

Thousands of innocent Americans went to work, boarded airplanes, kissed their families goodbye, and never came home.

And aboard Flight 93, ordinary Americans confronted extraordinary evil.

Knowing what was at stake, passengers and crew fought back. Their final act of courage almost certainly saved countless lives on the ground. Their words still echo through history:

“Let’s roll.”

September 11 is not only a story of what was done to America.

It is a story of how Americans responded.

With courage.
With sacrifice.
With faith.
With an unshakable determination to defend one another and the country we love.

Today, I remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken from us. I honor the firefighters, police officers, first responders, passengers and crew of Flight 93, and every American who demonstrated extraordinary courage that morning.

And I honor the generations of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, intelligence professionals, diplomats, and military families who carried the burden of the wars that followed, including those who never made it home.

Twenty-five years later, their sacrifice still demands something from us:

Remember them.
Honor them.
Tell their stories.
And never forget that America is worth fighting for.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸

America is not an inheritance we simply receive.
It is a legacy we are called to defend.

I’ve worn the uniform, flown into combat, and taken an oath to support and defend this nation. That oath didn’t expire when I left the battlefield.

The mission changes.
The commitment does not.

For our families.
For our freedoms.
For the generations that come after us.

America is worth serving.
America is worth defending.
America is worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
