President Trump Delivers a One America Appeal Message
(October 21, 2017)

My fellow Americans. The heartbreaking devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and Nate, along with the terrible wildfires in California, have impacted millions of our fellow Americans.

As a nation, we mourn for those who died and we pray for those who lost their homes or their livelihoods. In the aftermath of these terrible storms, the American people have done what we do best -- we came together, we helped one another, and through it all we remained resilient.

We came together as one as we rushed to the aid of Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Now, as we begin to rebuild, some of America's finest public servants are spearheading the One America Appeal. Through this effort all five living former presidents are playing a tremendous role in helping our fellow citizens recover. To Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Melania and I want to express our deep gratitude for your tremendous assistance.

This wonderful effort reminds us that we truly are one nation under God, all unified by our values and our devotion to one another. I also want to thank every person, including everyone here tonight, who has contributed to this vital effort.

There is a lot of work ahead of us and I want to thank groups like the Points of Light for making such a big difference in our disaster response efforts.

Together we will recover. We will rebuild. And we will come back stronger and better than ever before. Thank you, God bless you and may God bless the United States of America.
