Memorial Day engenders strong emotions in most Americans. As President Trump laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. President Donald Trump paid a Memorial Day tribute at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, saying he came to “sacred soil” to “honor the lives and deeds of America’s greatest heroes.” It was a moving tribute and very solemn. The service was observed by everyone there except for one kid a few rows back with a baseball cap on. He disrespected his country, his President and our warriors by not removing his hat during the National Anthem or Taps. Just disgraceful.
What’s more is everyone around him removed their hats and put them over their heart near their left shoulder as is proper protocol. But not this elitist punk. He was either absolutely oblivious to everyone around him and the right thing to do, or more likely, didn’t care and has disrespect for all involved. I’m surprised that some veteran didn’t yank the hat off his head during the tribute.
President Trump started off the day by tweeting, “Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!” But as he prepared for laying the wreath, things turned much more somber and reflective. Trump was iconic in his observance and respect of the fallen.
You have to watch the video and pay close attention to see the guy not remove his cap. But once you see it, you can’t un-see it. It made my blood boil.
Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief, speaking before an audience of Cabinet members, military leaders, veterans and families assembled in the marble amphitheater near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, said, “We mourn alongside their families and we strive to be worthy of their sacrifice.” President Trump pledged to Gold Star families on Monday to “never forget our heroes,” saluting those who made the ultimate sacrifice on this Memorial Day.
“We gather to honor the lives of America’s greatest heroes,” Trump said. “We’re joined today by the families of American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. We cannot imagine the depth of emotion that this day brings each year, the grief renewed, the memories relived, those last beautiful moments together cherished and always remembered. You also feel that incredible pride – a pride shared by one really and truly grateful nation.”
“It’s our heroes who make us who we are and who determine what we will be. Our fallen heroes have not only written our history, they’ve shaped our destiny,” Trump said.
The President pointed to each “marker” on the gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery, saying they “teach us what it means to be loyal and faithful and proud and brave and righteous and true.”
“That is why we come to this most sacred place. That is why we guard these grounds with absolute devotion,” Trump said. “That is why we always will remember because here on this soil, on these grounds, beneath those fields, lie the true source of American greatness, of American glory and of American freedom.”
He added that “as long as we are blessed with patriots such as these, we shall forever remain one people, one family and one nation under God.”
“We will never forget our heroes,” the President said, adding that “today, we pay tribute to their service” and “strive to be worthy of their sacrifice.”
The Derry News reported on the occasion as well:
“During his second Memorial Day trip to Arlington as President, Trump laid a wreath at the tomb before making his remarks. He recognized military figures, including Bob Dole, the former senator and 1996 Republican presidential nominee, who served in World War II. And he spoke warmly about a number of military families in attendance, including a young boy named Christian Jacobs, whose father is buried at Arlington.”
“Trump said the boy showed him his father’s grave last year, calling it “a moment I will always remember.””
“Before heading to the hallowed grounds across the Potomac River from the nation’s capital, Trump tweeted that “those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today.””
