Remarks by President Biden at the 155th National Memorial Day Observance

Article here. Excerpt:

'Throughout history, these women and men laid down their lives, not for a place or a person or a President, but for an idea unlike any other idea in all of human history. The idea — the idea of the United States of America.

As we’re reminded by the hundreds of graves here in Section 60 of Arlington and across our nation — the story of the women and men who sacrificed everything to keep democracy safe and secure during the last two decades — each of them — each of them a link in a chain of honor that stretches back to our Founding Fathers and those days. Unbreaking, unbending, not just in their duty and devotion but something even deeper: in their faith in us — their faith in us — that we will be worthy of their sacrifice.'
