Trump makes unannounced visit to Arlington cemetery
By Jordan Fabian - 05/23/19 02:35 PM EDT

President Trump on Thursday made an unannounced visit to Arlington National Cemetery ahead of Memorial Day.

The presidential motorcade arrived at the burial ground just outside of Washington, D.C., at about 2:20 p.m.


The president and first lady Melania Trump were ushered by military service members to place flags at headstones in Section 34, where famous soldiers such as Army Gen. John J. Pershing and Army Cpl. Frank Buckles, the last living World War I veteran, are buried.

Trump will be on a state visit to Japan when Memorial Day is observed on Monday.

He is expected to attend an event with U.S. troops at Yokosuka Naval Base to mark the holiday, but White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said he wanted to visit Arlington as well.

Trump expressed regret last year after facing criticism for not visiting the cemetery on Veterans Day.

The president told Fox News anchor Chris Wallace that he “should have done that” but he was “extremely busy on calls for the country.”

Trump had been in Paris on November 11 to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I but had no public events scheduled upon his return on November 12, when Veterans Day was observed.

Mr. Buckles died in 2011.

I miss doing Flags In at Arlington.  It was privilege to be able to honor those buried there during the four years I was in The Old Guard.

And Trump is the only President I can think of in recent memory to stop by while TOG and the other Military Honor Guards are placing the flags.

Truely classless attempt to turn such a solemn occasion, into yet another "joke"

I see President Trump and his wife, acting on behalf of a grateful nation, paying respect to our veterans.


Apparently at least one "member" here sees it as merely another chance to disrespect our President, and his supporters, and finally the veterans.
