President Donald Trump visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery early Monday before traveling to give a public address at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where he praised the sacrifices of veterans throughout history. 

“We come together to salute the flag they gave their lives to so boldly and brilliantly defend,” Trump said at the fort, which successfully defended itself from the British in the War of 1812 and inspired the words in the national anthem. “We pledge, in their cherished memories, that this majestic flag will proudly fly forever.”
