00:00Hello America, I'm Christy Shamblin.
00:25My daughter-in-law, Sgt. Nicole Leanne Gee, was a United States Marine and she was killed
00:44at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan alongside 12 of her brothers and sister-in-arms.
00:53While Joe Biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice, Donald Trump spent six hours in
01:02Bedminster with us.
01:17He allowed us to grieve, he allowed us to remember our heroes.
01:24Donald Trump knew all of our children's names, he knew their stories, and he spoke to us
01:32in a way that made us feel understood, like he knew our kids.
01:40He carried, Donald Trump carried the weight for a few hours with me.
02:02And for the first time since Nicole's death, I felt I wasn't alone in my grief.
02:20I had expected to meet an arrogant politician, instead I met a man who had empathy for us,
02:30he was compassionate and he spent time with us because he knew it would make us feel better.
02:39Thank you, President Trump.
