I don't remember any president, Dem or GOP, ever doing that. Obama's Memorial Day, 2016 remarks: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/05/30/remarks-president-memorial-day-2016 Any brags there? Nope, even though there was plenty he could have bragged about. Bush: http://www.usmemorialday.org/Speeches/President/bush-may29-2006.txt No brags there. Clinton? Nope. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=46640 George Bush Sr.? None there either. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=20315 Reagan? Nope, not even him. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=42585

Sorry, Hugh, you lipless twit. Presidents don't use Memorial Day to praise themselves. At least not until this one.
