What else?
In late April, President Donald Trump announced "Operation America Strong" to honor the nation's health care workers.
At the time, he said, "I'm excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the Air Force Thunderbirds — are incredible — and the Navy Blue Angels — equally incredible — will be performing air shows over America's major cities. What we're doing is we're paying tribute to our frontline healthcare workers confronting COVID."
"[I]t's really a signal to all Americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak," Trump said. "This is a tribute to them, to our warriors. Because they are equal warriors to those incredible pilots and all of the fighters that we have for the more traditional fights that we win and we win."
