The checks are already on the way and expected to arrive before Christmas.
From The New York Post:
President Trump proudly announced that his administration is doling out Independence Day-themed $1,776 “warrior dividend” checks to service members before Christmas.
“Military service members will receive a special … warrior dividend before Christmas,” Trump announced during his address to the nation on Wednesday night. “A warrior dividend in honor of our nation’s founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776.”
What a great way to show appreciation to our soldiers.
Our troops deserve it!
President Trump absolutely crushed it during tonight’s national address.
(Spoiler alert: no, he did not declare war on Venezuela.)
