President Donald Trump praised U.S. troops Thursday and thanked them for their service, while noting what he sees as his own personal accomplishments as president, in a Thanksgiving Day message to service members around the world.

"It's an honor to speak with you and to give God thanks for the blessings of freedom and for the heroes who have the courage that you do to defend us and defend freedom," Trump said via video teleconference.

The president, who is spending the holiday weekend at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, also touted what he saw as recent U.S. military advances to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"We're not fighting anymore to just walk around," Trump said of his August decision to expand the U.S. war in Afghanistan. "We're fighting to win. And you've really turned it around over the last three to four months like nobody's seen."
