Serving Those Who Serve America
Yesterday, President Obama traveled to Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate Memorial Day, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and thanking our armed forces for their dedication and service:

Let it be our task, every single one of us, to honor the strength and the resolve and the love these brave Americans felt for each other and for our
country. Let us never forget to always remember and to be worthy of the sacrifice they make in our name.
