“This morning, on these hallowed grounds where generations of American heroes rest in eternal glory, we gather to fulfill the sacred duty of every free man and woman,” Trump said, his voice echoing through Arlington. “On Veterans Day, we honor those who have worn the uniform, who have borne the battle, and who have stood the watch. For 250 years, they have formed the mighty wall of bravery and devotion that has defended our freedom.”
The 45th President went on to deliver a message millions of veterans have waited to hear:
“To every veteran — we love you, we thank you, and we will never forget you. You carried America’s fate on your strong, proud shoulders. You’ve earned our nation’s respect, and you will always have it.”
💪 Vance and Collins Join Trump in Tribute
Trump was joined by Vice President JD Vance, a proud Marine veteran, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins. Together, they laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — a powerful moment of unity and remembrance.
Vance spoke directly to America’s veterans, urging citizens to thank them personally for their service and sacrifice.
“During my years in the Marine Corps, I met the best of America,” Vance said. “Men and women willing to risk everything for their country. Just yesterday, I met heroes who lost limbs, loved ones, and even their peace of mind in defense of our nation.”
