President Donald Trump marked Memorial Day Monday by saluting the American heroes who died in the name of freedom.
Prior to his visit to Arlington National Cemetery, at which he was to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Trump posted a video to his Twitter account that recalled his 2017 trip to Arlington, The Hill reported.
“Last year at Arlington Cemetery, I met a young boy named Christian Jacobs. He was special. He was standing fully in a uniform. His father was a great man to him and he was a great man to me. And Christian was standing over his father’s grave, saluting. It was something I’ll never forget,” Trump said in the video.
