Trump pays tribute at Arlington Cemetery, urges to America celebrate Victory Day like allies

President Donald Trump honored U.S. veterans at Arlington National Cemetery with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Joined by Vice President JD Vance and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, Trump delivered heartfelt remarks thanking service members for their sacrifices and highlighting stories of courage. The ceremony comes as Congress prepares to vote on a stopgap funding bill to reopen the government after a 40-day shutdown, addressing military pay and federal operations. Trump also called for the U.S. to observe a national “Victory Day,” commemorating World War I and II victories, a first for American tradition.
