President Donald J. Trump marked Veterans Day on Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and delivering remarks at the cemetery’s amphitheater.

The White House also posted a video of the president’s remarks on his Truth Social account Wednesday afternoon. “Today, to every veteran, we say the words too often left unsaid. Thank you for your service,” he said. “Each of you has earned the respect and the gratitude of our entire nation. We love you. We salute you. And we will never forget what you have done to keep America safe, sovereign, and free.”

Speaking to veterans gathered at the amphitheater, the president said service members “are indeed our protection in battle,” and that military families “are amazing” and “among the very best of our nation.” He recognized individual veterans and asked them to stand, including a 103-year-old who served in World War II, according to Associated Press accounts of the ceremony.
