Apple CEO Tim Cook Shares Memorial Day Tribute

[MacRumors]

Today is Memorial Day in the United States, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has shared a tribute.

"We are grateful for all those who fought for our freedom," said Cook, in a social media post today. "On Memorial Day, we reflect on the courage and selflessness of the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country."

Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors and mourns U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Due to the holiday, the Apple news cycle is likely to be slower today.

Well, here we are—successfully locking everyone into our ecosystem.

Tim Cook trying to get in good with MAGA so he can continue refusing to build products here. Pathetic.

At least we share optimistic hopes for WWDC to be major software improvements to offset Apple’s hardware advances. It’s time for blueprint all the OS’s to be way better capable along with not getting around to the bundled browser and their OS apps to see major functional abilities implemented. Siri is so limited and dated still.

Tim Cook trying to get in good with MAGA so he can continue refusing to build products here. Pathetic.

Considering what MAGA’s Supreme and Immortal Leader said today in his own Memorial Day greeting, I doubt that Tim was trying to curry favor with MAGA. Or does MAGA not support what the Supreme and Immortal Leader said today (which included nothing about our honored dead)?

Edit to add Dear Leader’s early morning greeting:

Memorial Day, like Armistice Day, is about the horrors of war and honoring those who were victims of it.

It should not be cloaked in propaganda.

I will take anyone not allowing sycophants to install Project 2025 and destroy so many fundamental things about the country, yes.

At least he wasn’t actively undermining the constitution.

Yes. Hell, James Buchanan, the 3rd worse all time POTUS, would be preferable. 45 and 47 holds the top 2 spots.😑

Sad everybody is so political. I honor all of the soldiers who fought for us. Thank you for your service. The utmost respect to you and your families. 🙏🇺🇸

What do you expect when the President himself posts this atrocity as his Memorial Day message?

I expect people to not follow and be individuals and stop trying to take sides. Edit: just because he says something whether we agree or not doesn’t mean that WE have to make it political. I personally think what he said is not right to say, but again this holiday is not about ME.

My friend, the actions of an unhinged President are directly impacting millions

There's no "stop taking sides" in this situation

Life is intertwined with politics.
There's no opting out as it impacts you whether you pay attention or not.

 

[KPOM]

Hey Tim, why don't you think about what the draft dodger whose inauguration you donated to thinks about the military & supporting veterans.

"Cook chose poorly"

Vietnam was a useless war started by the most racist president in history.

I’m not opted out. I’m just honoring those who served for today’s holiday. Tomorrow if people want to continue on unhinged president, so be it. Life can also be intertwined with dignity, respect, and honesty. What we see in politics is the culmination of a lack of those things in our society.

Huh? LBJ passed multiple Civil and Voting Rights Acts.

Why does he have to type in ALL CAPS? It’s so stupid, annoying, and embarrassing.

 

[VertPin]

God damn Trump is an unhinged moron. Worst president we have ever had. All the MAGA people are brainwashed by a guy who is undermining the constitution, masquerading as a Christian, but really is just a selfish man full of hatred.

I’d say some nice things about Tim Cook and his Memorial Day message, but he donated a lot of money to Trump’s inauguration. No thanks.

 

[Mousse]

The only side I have ever taken is my side. I don't care for Democrats or Republicans. I don't care who is running the country so long as my daily life isn't disrupted. Welp, my life has been in turmoil the past few months. Why? Because every government service to ensure our safety has been gutted. Thanks F'Elon Musk.*😑 Qualified people fired and replaced with reality TV personalities and Fox News hosts.

*Why is someone who was never voted for, never appointed to office, given access to government secrets and given the authority to fire congressionally appointed heads of government agencies? He's not even Federal worker.😠

It always amazes me how easy it is for those on the left to be dishonest and fear monger. Not only did president Trump honor the fallen service men and women, but VP Vance did also. Shame on you!
