On September 17, 2025, Wilson recognized Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by stating: “Happy Constitution Day and Citizenship Day! Today marks 238 years since the delegates at the Constitutional Convention signed the U.S. Constitution. We celebrate the rights of all Americans and congratulate those who have become U.S. citizens.”
Later that same day, Wilson referenced World War II history in another post: “On this day in 1939, Soviet Russia invaded Poland, only two weeks after Nazi Germany – starting WWII together in an effort to conquer, divide, and enslave Europe. As Russia today attacks Poland, we must remember how Russia started WWII by attacking Poland!!”
On September 18, 2025, Wilson marked the anniversary of the United States Air Force with a message of appreciation: “Happy 78th Birthday to the @usairforce. I am grateful for the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving to keep America safe. #FlyFightWin”
