President Obama delivered his final Veterans Day address Friday at the 63rd annual National Veterans Day Observance.
It's an annual service honoring the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the U.S. armed forces during war and peacetime.
In light of the surprising victory by Donald Trump just days earlier, the president's words seemed to have greater meaning: "When the world makes you cynical, you look to a veteran."
