President Donald Trump is set to spend Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, where he will participate in ceremonies honoring fallen U.S. service members, according to reporting first shared by The Daily Wire.
Trump is expected to join members of his administration, Gold Star families, and military personnel at the Virginia cemetery on Monday. His schedule includes a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier followed by remarks nearby commemorating those who died in service to the country.
Several top administration officials are expected to attend alongside the president, including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told The Daily Wire that Trump would honor “our fallen heroes whose sacrifice has kept our nation free,” adding that the president would express “the enduring gratitude of our entire nation.”
Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington have long served as a centerpiece for presidents from both parties, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier carrying particular symbolic significance. The monument honors unidentified American service members and sits on one of the highest points in the cemetery overlooking Washington, D.C.
More than 430,000 people are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including military veterans, service members, and eligible family members.
Trump marked Memorial Day there last year as well, taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with members of his administration.
During remarks at the event, Trump praised U.S. service members who “left behind the blessings of home and family” to answer the country’s call, while acknowledging the sacrifices made by military families.
Arlington itself has a long and complex history. The cemetery occupies land once connected to the family of Confederate General Robert E. Lee before it was seized by the U.S. government during the American Civil War and converted into a national cemetery amid the war’s heavy casualties.
This year’s appearance comes as Trump continues using ceremonial presidential events to emphasize themes of military service, patriotism, and national identity during his second term.
MEMORIAL DAY ALERT!
ALONG WITH VETERANS DAY, MEMORIAL DAY IS ANOTHER DAY DEVOTED to the commemoration of men and women hoodwinked into sacrificing life and limb on behest of the International Bankers. In turn, both days are used as propaganda to enlist the next generation of expendable soldiers.
Memorial Day should instead be a day used to help others from becoming cannon fodder in the Constitutional Republic’s ungodly wars at the behest of the banking cartel:
“…The power to declare war is a serious responsibility. Why were the framers so vague in defining the parameters of war and the conditions under which it could be declared? Section 8, Clause 11 is the only place of significance where warfare is mentioned in the Constitution. Little wonder this power has been abused. Luther Martin [one of Maryland’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention] protested:
‘…the congress have also a power given them to raise and support armies, without any limitation as to numbers, and without any restriction in time of peace. Thus, sir, this plan of government, instead of guarding against a standing army, that engine of arbitrary power, which has so often and so successfully been used for the subversion of freedom, has in its formation given it an express and constitutional sanction….’40….
“Because the framers provided no Biblical parameters, unbiblical warfare has been the rule ever since. Following is a list of the countries bombed by the United States since World War II:
China: 1945-46; 1950-53
Korea: 1950-53
Guatemala: 1954; 1967-69
Indonesia: 1958
Cuba: 1959-60
Vietnam: 1961-73
Congo: 1964
Laos: 1964-73
Peru: 1965
Cambodia: 1969-70
Granada: 1983
Libya: 1986; 2011
El Salvador: 1980s
Nicaragua: 1980s
Panama: 1989
Iraq: 1991-2001; 2003-09
Sudan: 1998
Afghanistan: 1998; 2003-09
Yugoslavia: 1999.
“From 1945 to the present [2012], the United States has bombed nineteen different countries under the guise of defending America’s sovereignty and promoting democracy. But America is none the better for it, and not one of these countries has become a legitimate democracy – not that this would be anything to celebrate. Something is amiss. Wars fought for political gain or financial profit can only be classified as ungodly acts of aggression….”
