Your
1600 Daily:
His heart was in
America
“Billy Graham carried his message around
the world, but his heart, as [his son] Franklin will tell you,
was always in America,” President Donald J. Trump said
Wednesday as he stood near the casket of the Reverend Billy
Graham, who lay in honor earlier this week at the United States
Capitol.
Today, Rev. Graham’s
funeral will be held at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte,
North Carolina. On Wednesday, American leaders had an
opportunity to pay tribute to the man who inspired millions the
world over with his faith.
“He took his message
to the poorest places, to the downtrodden and to the
brokenhearted, to inmates in prison, and to the overlooked and
the neglected,” President Trump told those gathered in the
Capitol Rotunda. “He felt a great passion for those that were
neglected.”
Rev. Graham is only the
fourth private citizen to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol in
Washington.

Graham.
The pain beneath
the headlines
First Lady Melania Trump opened a
White House summit on opioids yesterday by putting the
Administration’s extensive work to combat the crisis into
context.
“Our unified goal is
that of helping all who have been affected by drug addiction,”
the First Lady said. She then shared a letter from Betty
Henderson, a mother who lost her son to drugs. Ms. Henderson
joined the First Lady at the front of the room.
“The day after my
son’s death, I had to go to the medical examiner’s office
to claim his body,” Ms. Henderson wrote. “No mother should
ever have to claim their child’s body.”
Yesterday’s summit
brought together leaders from across the Administration and
experts from throughout the country to discuss education and
prevention, treatment and recovery, and law enforcement and
interdiction relating to opioids. President Trump spoke with
families at the event, and numerous Cabinet officials joined to
share policy solutions and ideas from their teams.

Homeland
Security turns 15
“I was there on Capitol Hill
on 9/11. I watched the Congress come together, setting politics
completely aside to forge this Department,” Vice President
Mike Pence said yesterday at a ceremony to honor the 15th
anniversary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Here are just a few of
the ways DHS serves the American people:
Enforcing
our Nation’s immigration laws, securing its borders, and
preventing terrorists, drug dealers, and violent criminals
from entering our country
Performing
countless search-and-rescue missions across America in the
midst of hurricanes, storms, floods, fires, and mudslides
- Protecting the
First and Second Family and safeguarding others who serve our
Nation through the Secret Service
“This Department was
forged in the crucible of crisis. But over the past 15 years it
has distinguished itself as a cornerstone of America’s
national security and law enforcement enterprise,” the Vice
President said.
