President Trump is joining Americans across the country as they commemorate Memorial Day on Monday. Mr. Trump will travel to Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and later deliver remarks in the amphitheater of the solemn memorial to America’s fallen soldiers.
Earlier on Monday, Mr. Trump tweeted a video message to mark the day, recalling his time at Arlington last year.
“Arlington is a special place and our country is a special place. As Americans we come together to remember our great heroes on this Memorial Day,” he added.
Mr. Trump tweeted later that “those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today,” touting his administration’s efforts on unemployment, the economy and “rebuilding our military.”
