President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance participated in Veterans Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday, taking part in a series of ceremonial tributes honoring American service members. The event included the traditional wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a longstanding national ritual held annually to recognize those who served and those who died without recognition.
The ceremony drew military families, veterans, active-duty personnel, and visitors who traveled to Arlington to observe the national holiday. Veterans Day, first established as Armistice Day after World War I and later expanded to honor all who served, remains one of the most widely recognized commemorations of military service in the United States.
