Biden Says U.S. Has Sacred Obligation to Fallen Service Members
MAY 30, 2022 | BY C. TODD LOPEZ, DOD NEWS
Americans have many obligations, President Joe Biden said. But one of them rises above all others: doing right by the service members who fight on behalf of the United States.
"I've often said that, as a nation, we have many obligations," Biden said today during a Memorial Day commemoration at Arlington National Cemetery. "The only one that is truly sacred, the only truly sacred obligation we have is to prepare and equip those women and men we send into harm's way and care for them and their families when they return home ... and when they don't."

That obligation, Biden said, is one that unites all Americans.
"It brings us together to make sure that the women and men who are willing to lay down their lives for us get the very best from us in return," he said.
