Biden Honors Fallen Troops

May 27, 2024 · 1:14 pm ET · Leave a Comment

President Biden used his Memorial Day speech to honor troops who died fighting for the United States, saying they gave their lives in the hope of a “more perfect union” during remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, Axios reports.

Each of the veterans, he said, was “bound by a common commitment, not to a place, not to a person, not to a president, but to an idea unlike an idea in human history. The idea of the United States of America.”
