“Biden honors fallen US
service members”
(Joe Biden participates in a
wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day at
Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, May 30, 2022.)
President Joe Biden honored
fallen U.S. service members on Memorial Day by laying a wreath at the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier and delivering remarks. The president was joined by first
lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a somber ceremony at the
Virginia cemetery, which is dedicated to the fallen U.S. service members whose
remains have not been identified. He has attended the Arlington ceremony nearly
every year for decade. “Memorial Day is always a day that is mixed with pain
and pride,” Biden said. “They chose a life of purpose,” Biden said in remarks
after the ceremony. “They had a mission, and above all they believed in duty,
they believed in honor, they believed in their country, and still today we are
free because they were brave.”
Hours before the ceremony, the
president and first lady attended a memorial Mass for Beau Biden, who died of
brain cancer seven years ago Monday. Beau also was a veteran, a personal
connection the older Biden has drawn upon in the past on Memorial Day. Beau
Biden served two terms as Delaware’s attorney general before declaring a run
for governor. He also served in Delaware’s National Guard.
This year’s Memorial Day comes
just months after the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan, which marked the end of
America’s longest war.
^ Sadly, President Biden hasn’t
done much in terms of Domestic or International Affairs (with the exception of
Ukraine) and so this Memorial Day we have to also remember his many mistakes including
the chaotic and deadly American Withdrawal from Afghanistan that “surprised”
him since this is the first Memorial Day after that mess which added 13
American Soldiers to those we have to remember this Memorial Day because they
died in combat protecting us. ^
