Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump observed Veterans Day on Wednesday in Washington, DC.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) contrasted American unity following the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, with contemporary disunity, offering his remarks on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution was reported desecrated on Friday, as attacks on monuments continued nationwide in association with Black Lives Matter protests.

The president saluted as he stood with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper as the national anthem was played.

Vice President Mike Pence took time on Monday to honor American military who died in service to the country and issue a charge to others: remember them, and live in a way worthy of the freedom their deaths have won.

Every year on Memorial Day at the cemetery at Belleau Wood in France the United States Marine Corps honors their fallen Marines who saved Paris during World War I from the German army.

Tom Cotton said the Old Guard’s funeral performances offer “one final indelible moment of perfect honor” to families of the fallen.

This week, small towns and big cities all across the country will hold parades and other celebrations in honor of their veterans. One of the most poignant and meaningful of these ceremonies will take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

Thousands of people are visiting Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day weekend. Arlington is Ground Zero for honoring and remembering the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so Americans can enjoy freedom every day of the year.

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of some of America’s greatest World War I battles. And one of the most epic stories from those battles belongs to the man General Pershing called “the outstanding soldier of the AEF”: Samuel Woodfill.
