Van Jones: Trump’s Address Had ‘One of the Most Extraordinary Moments in American Politics, Period’

Carryn Owens, the widowed wife of Navy SEAL Ryan Owens, who was killed in action during a special operations raid in Yemen, received a near 2-minute standing ovation when recognized by President Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday Feb. 28, 2017.

“Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity,” he said, giving recognition to his widow who received a long standing ovation. “The Bible tells us ‘There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends’.
