VP Vance Defends America’s Legacy, Rebukes Critics on 250th Independence Anniversary

US Vice President JD Vance delivered a stirring address from the deck of the USS Kearsarge to mark America’s 250th birthday.

Vance argued that every milestone was reached through unity and shared purpose, not division. The speech, set against a grand parade of tall ships in New York Harbor and a military flyover, echoed recent comments by President Trump on the importance of national identity amid internal and external challenges.
