President Donald Trump led a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, honoring the country's fallen service members as 'America's best and bravest.' His remarks, while primarily focused on paying tribute, briefly delved into political territory.
Ahead of his speech, Trump participated in the traditional wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The president stood silently as Taps played, a tribute to the nation's military heroes.
Interestingly, Trump's social media activity contrasted sharply with his formal address. In an all-caps message, he criticized former President Joe Biden, and federal judges, while controversially wishing followers a 'HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY,' a departure from traditional commemorative customs.
