Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked God Monday during a White House press conference detailing the rescues of two U.S. airmen whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.
“God was watching us—amazing,” Trump said, noting that it happened around “Easter territory.”
The entire ordeal played out over Easter weekend, beginning with the traumatic shootdown of the fighter jet on Good Friday and concluding with the dramatic rescue of the second airman on Easter Sunday.
