RNC 2024 - Wesley Hunt Emphasizes Patriotism and Resilience at RNC Convention

Milwaukee, WI (RNC 2024) — Congressman Wesley Hunt delivered a stirring speech at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee, emphasizing American patriotism, resilience, and the importance of solid leadership. Drawing from his family's extensive military service and his own experiences, Hunt passionately conveyed his dedication to the country.

Hunt began by quoting William Ernest Henley's poem "Invictus," emphasizing the line, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." He linked this sentiment to the American spirit: "We, the Americans, are the masters of our fate, the captains of our soul. We live in the greatest country in the world."

Hunt's speech highlighted his family's military legacy, detailing his father's 20-year service as a retired lieutenant colonel, his sister's 23-year tenure as an army intelligence officer, and his service as an Apache helicopter pilot. "My father, sister, brother, and I have collectively served 60 years in the military. We are committed to defending this nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic," he said.

Reflecting on his family's service, Hunt spoke about the significance of their contributions. "Our great-great-grandfather was born on Rosedown Plantation. Today, three of his great-great-grandchildren have attended West Point, served in the military, and one stands before you as a Texas congressman."

Hunt addressed the current political climate, emphasizing the need for strong leadership to preserve American democracy. He criticized the Biden administration, stating, "Over twelve million people have entered our country illegally, and we face the worst inflation in my lifetime. We must restore strong leadership to secure our nation's future."

Highlighting the resilience of the American people, Hunt recounted historical challenges the country has overcome, from the Civil War to 9/11. He expressed confidence in America's ability to endure current struggles, saying, "If we could survive all of that as the greatest country in the world, we will survive this administration."

Hunt concluded by praising former President Donald Trump and expressing hope for a brighter future under his leadership. "President Trump's return will bring peace, energy dominance, and prosperity to America. We will make America great again."

Congressman Wesley Hunt's speech at the RNC Convention resonated with the audience, inspiring a renewed sense of patriotism and commitment to American values. His message of resilience, service, and leadership serves as a powerful reminder of what it means to be an American.
