## Transcript

At this moment, a plane is carrying the remains of some great, fallen heroes from America. Back from the Korean War. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] They're coming back to the United States. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Mike Pence. Our wonderful Vice President will be there to greet the families and the remains. And I wanna thank Chairman Kim for keeping his word. We have many others coming, but I wanna thank Chairman Kim. In front of the media for fulfilling a promise that he made to me, and I'm sure that he will continue to fulfill that promise as they search and search and search. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] These incredible American heroes will soon lay at rest on sacred American soil.

Even during the campaign, people would come up to me. It was a long time ago, many decades ago, oftentimes they were older. In some cases they were younger, great- grandfathers. My great- grandfather, my grandfather, my father, they asked if I could do something about it. I'd look at him, I said we don't get along too well with that country. I said whatever you could do, and it's something that was very important to me, many people have asked that, advice the Vice President and other to just pay a special tribute, and they will do that, so We honor the sacred memory of every American patriot who fought and died in that war.
