Biden marks Memorial Day nearly 2 years after ending America's longest war, lauds troops' sacrifice

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden lauded the sacrifice of generations of U.S. troops who died fighting for their country as he marked Memorial Day with the traditional wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

Biden was joined by first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff, for the 155th National Memorial Day Observance. He had a moment of contemplation in front of the wreath, which was adorned with flowers and a red, white and blue bow, and then bowed his head in prayer.

“We must never forget the price that was paid to protect our democracy,” Biden said later in an address at Memorial Amphitheater. “We must never forget the lives these flags, flowers and marble markers represent.”

”Every year we remember,” he said. “And every year it never gets easier.”

Omaha Steve, who I thought was dead by now, with a post about Biden's Memorial Day remarks.

I was watching the laying of the wreath on TV when I was interrupted by a phone call so I wasn't able to watch it but it will be interesting to hear if Biden was checking his watch during the ceremony.  My guess is that his handlers made him leave his watch back at the White House.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Only briefly caught a sound bite, but he apparently attributed his late son Beau's death as a casualty of war. As awful as cancer is, have never heard an affirmative medical connection to Beau's brain cancer to his service to our country.

Maybe he inherited it from his dad.
