President Biden mourned his late son Beau in Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Ceremony, sharing the pain of loss with those who've had family members die in service to the nation.
"We must never forget the price that was paid to protect our democracy. Must never forget the lives these flags, flowers and marble markers represent. A mother or a father, a son or a daughter, a sister, a spouse, a friend, an American," Biden said. Monday. "Every year we remember and every year it never gets easier."
Biden's eldest son, Beau, died of brain cancer in 2015 at the Walter Reed military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Beau Biden was a major in the Delaware Army National Guard and served in the Iraq War. The president has often times said Beau's death from cancer was caused by "burn pits" in Iraq, for which he signed the PACT Act to expand health care benefits for veterans exposed to deadly toxins.
The president observed that tomorrow will be the eighth anniversary of his son's death and he empathized with Gold Star families.
