Remarks by President Biden at the 155th National Memorial Day ... Arlington National CemeteryArlington, Virginia 11:41 A.M. EDT  THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Please. One hundred and fifty-five years ago, retired Union General James Garfield spoke here at Arlington, marking our nation.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is a day to remember their courage, dedication, and selflessness in defending our freedom and protecting our values. Let us never forget the sacrifices made by these heroes and their families, and let us always strive to uphold the ideals for which they fought.

As we gather to pay tribute to our fallen heroes, let us also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. It is a day of remembrance, gratitude, and solemn reflection. May we always honor the memory of those who gave their lives for our country, and may we never forget the debt of gratitude we owe them.
