<p>WASHINGTON— President Donald Trump will honor Memorial Day by paying tribute to fallen American heroes at Arlington National Cemetery, the Daily Wire can first report.</p>
<p>The president and members of his administration will join Gold Star families and service members at the cemetery on Monday, a White House official shared. Trump will visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and then will deliver remarks nearby.</p>
<p>He will be joined by top members of his administration, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Veteran Affairs Doug Collins, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.</p>
<p>“President Trump will visit Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day to pay tribute to our fallen heroes whose sacrifice has kept our nation free,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told The Daily Wire. &#8220;These patriots represent the very best of us, and the President will express the enduring gratitude of our entire nation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;America’s best and bravest have fought and died for our freedom,&#8221; she added, &#8220;and President Trump will honor these heroes as he continues making our nation prouder, freer, and stronger than ever before.”</p>

<p>More than 430,000 men and women <a href="https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Funerals/Funeral-Information">are buried in the cemetery</a>, including veterans, their families, and their eligible dependents.</p>
<p>The president spent last Memorial Day in a similar fashion, attending a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with key members of his administration in 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;In every hour of peril, in every moment of crisis, American warriors have left behind the blessings of home and family to answer their nation&#8217;s call,&#8221; Trump said last year. &#8220;They&#8217;ve offered all that they had within them, and given their last breaths to each and every one of us that we might live safe, and breathe free. This morning we pay tribute to their immortal deeds.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We share in the sorrow of their beloved families. And as one nation, we give thanks for the ultimate gift they have so selflessly given to all of us. These warriors, and that&#8217;s what they are, is great, great warriors, picked up their mantle of duty and service knowing that to live for others meant always that they might die for others.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier sits at the top of Arlington National Cemetery and overlooks Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>The cemetery sits on property that was originally a plantation owned by George Washington&#8217;s grandson, passed down to Robert E. Lee&#8217;s wife, seized by the U.S. Army and used as a national cemetery in light of the mass casualties of the Civil War.</p>
