Trump Marks Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance marked Veterans Day on Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery, taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony and delivering remarks honoring America's veterans.

The observance included a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior administration officials also attended.

The national event was the 73rd National Veterans Day Observance, according to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, which carried the ceremony from Arlington.

In his remarks, Trump praised Hegseth and discussed the war with Iran. He said the United States had "won" but wanted to ensure a "total victory," according to NBC News' coverage of the event.

The cemetery ceremony was part of a day of tributes to current and former service members. House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries were also scheduled to lead an all-member veterans tribute on the steps of the Capitol later Wednesday.
