(National Sentinel)Â Gratitude: President Donald J. Trump, in an address to the pilots and air crews of Marine One, the presidential helicopter fleet, praised staff and personnel after they gave him a special Christmas gift.
“So they gave me this hat,†Trump said at the Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, Virginia, according to a White House transcript of his remarks.
“It says, ‘Presidential Helicopter Squadron.’ Would you wear it? Now, no other president would do this. But I will, because I’m proud of you,†he added, garnering applause from the Marines in attendance.
“I’m proud of you,†Trump said again. “What the hell.â€

“For more than half a century, Marine Helicopter Squadron One has served as one of the most visible symbols of the presidency,†the president said in addressing Marine personnel “Today, there are few sights more awe-inspiring than Marine One flying up the Potomac — true, incredible — past the Washington Monument and landing on the South Lawn of the White House.
“It’s an incredible privilege to take that flight.â€
The president also recalled the first time he boarded Marine One, saying he “felt very, very good about†America.
“I’m very proud of our country when I got that first flight and every time I get on it,†he said. “So I appreciate the job you do.â€
He noted that “nothing is more reassuring” than the image of a Marine standing guard when he leaves and enters the White House.
“And my pledge to you is that I will have your back just as you will always — and have always — had mine,” he said.
