President Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday morning where he delivered remarks and took part in a wreath-laying ceremony to honor veterans.
“This Veterans Day, we show our gratitude and recommit to honor their service, uphold their legacy, and give every veteran the loyalty, respect, and support they have earned and so dearly deserve.” President Donald J. Trump wrote on X.
Watch:
The president’s Veterans Day speech comes a day after the Senate advanced the stopgap funding bill to reopen the government after more than 40 days. The House is expected to take up the vote on Wednesday and, if passed, it will then head to Trump’s desk.
How members of the military would be paid during the shutdown added to pressure on lawmakers to move the deal forward.
