Obama Honors Veterans at Arlington

HeadlineNov 12, 2009

As the administration discussed sending more troops to Afghanistan, President Obama visited Arlington National Cemetery to take part in a Veterans Day ceremony.

President Obama: “For the better part of a decade, they have endured tour after tour in distant and difficult places. They have protected us from danger, and they have given others the opportunity for a better life. So to all of them, to our veterans, to the fallen and to their families, there’s no tribute, no commemoration, no praise that can truly match the magnitude of your service and your sacrifice.”
