THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. I very much appreciate it.
I’ll be heading to Alabama on Friday. So I think some of you will be joining me, but we’ll be going down Friday. And we’ll let you know times and when we’re leaving, and how long we’ll be there. It’s been a tragic situation, but a lot of good work is being done. And we’ve been in constant touch with the Governor, and also the Governor of Georgia. And so we’ll be going to the area. We’ll be — Alabama and the general area. We’ll see Governor Ivey. So that’ll be on Friday. Thank you very much.
And we’re here today to confront a solemn crisis that requires urgent national action. In a few moments, I will sign an executive order addressing one of our nation’s most heartbreaking tragedies: veteran suicide.
Our mission is to mobilize every level of American society
