Trump, Vance attend Veterans Day events at Arlington National Cemetery - WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance paid their respects to the nation's fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday morning, as part of a poignant Veterans Day celebration.

The high-ranking officials participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, expressing gratitude to the veterans who have served and sacrificed for the country. In his heartfelt remarks, Trump extolled the bravery and selflessness of these individuals, saying "each of you has earned the respect and the gratitude of our entire nation" and vowing that America would never forget their service.

The annual Bells of Peace Ceremony, held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, marked a solemn tribute to the millions of Americans who fought in World War I. As the iconic bells tolled at 11am, marking the hour of remembrance, Trump's words served as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who have given their lives for America.

The ceremony was a somber yet dignified affair, underscoring the importance of honoring and remembering the nation's fallen veterans. As the bells rang out across the country, it was clear that this Veterans Day celebration would be one to remember, with President Trump and Vice President Vance lending their voices to a chorus of respect and gratitude for those who have served and sacrificed so much.
 
I think it's really cool that they had a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery 🌹. It shows how much they care about the people who fought for our country, you know? I mean, America can't forget about all those heroes who gave their lives for us πŸ’”. I was thinking, what if we did more events like this throughout the year to honor them? Maybe not just on Veterans Day πŸ€”. That way, everyone would be reminded of how lucky we are to have such brave people in our country πŸ‘.
 
I'm really worried about how our politicians are using Veterans Day as an opportunity to make speeches that feel more like presidential campaign rallies πŸ€”. I mean, I get it, we want to show appreciation for our fallen heroes, but can't they just be sincere without trying to inject some kind of message into the ceremony? The wreath-laying ceremony is supposed to be a somber moment of remembrance, not a chance for them to boost their approval ratings πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. And what's with all the pomp and circumstance? It feels like they're more interested in creating a spectacle than actually paying respects to those who have served our country πŸ’”. I just wish we could focus on honoring our veterans without the politics getting in the way, you know? πŸ™
 
I felt kinda weird watching that on TV yesterday πŸ€”... I mean, Trump saying all those nice things about the veterans was okay, but at the same time, you can't help but think about how some folks feel about him 😐. It's like, can we just put politics aside for one day and show some respect to our nation's heroes? ⚫️ I'm not sure if it really makes a difference, but those bells really do have a way of getting under your skin... and Trump's words were actually pretty sincere, even if they did come from an unexpected place πŸ™. It was definitely a weird vibe, though, like we're always trying to balance being patriotic with being critical of our leaders πŸ’­
 
omg u guys i just saw that clip from vets day ceremony & trump's speech gave me all the feels he was actually pretty sincere about it 🀩 even though some ppl might say he's not the most eloquent guy his words were really heartfelt & showed appreciation for the sacrifices made by veterans πŸ‘ i feel like its awesome to see the president & vp showing respect to those who have served our country πŸ’•
 
πŸ™ Just saw the pics from Arlington National Cemetery and I'm feeling all the feels πŸ€•. Can't believe it's already Veterans Day πŸŽ‰ yet another day to honor our nation's brave men & women πŸ‘Š, like President Trump & VP JD Vance who led a poignant ceremony πŸ’”. Respect to the fallen heroes 🌹, we owe it to them to remember their sacrifices πŸ’― and never forget what they've done for us πŸ™. I'm all about showing appreciation for our veterans πŸ’ͺ, they deserve nothing but the best πŸ‘! #HonoringOurHeroes #VeteransDay #GratitudeMatters
 
I feel like these events are always so heavily scripted and staged πŸ€”. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that they're showing respect and gratitude, but can't we just be genuine for once? The President's words sounded all very sincere, but I'm sure there's a team of speechwriters behind them too 😊. Still, it's nice to see Trump and JD Vance showing up in person – at least some things are still human.
 
man i felt really somber watchin that ceremony on tv, you know its one thing to read about ppl losin their lives in wars but to see it on tv is somethin else πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ’” president trump actually said some nice things about our fallen heroes, its good 2 hear him give credit where credit is due πŸ‘ also i think its great dat the bells of peace ceremony is still a thing, its like a reminder that we gotta respect our soldiers and their families πŸ’•
 
πŸ™ just saw the pics from Arlington National Cemetery on V-Day... honestly feels weird seeing Trump at these events... always thought he'd be more divisive than this πŸ€” but I guess paying respects is one thing, even if it's not exactly his style 😐 anyway, gotta give credit where credit is due - those fallen heroes deserve our gratitude and respect. hope the ceremony brought some solace to families of the fallen πŸ’•
 
Come on πŸ™„, I'm not buying all that sappy patriotism from Trump. It's just another election cycle thingy πŸ˜’. Can't he just focus on the issues instead of playing the hero? And JD Vance is literally a senator who thinks he's above everyone else because his family has money πŸ’Έ. How original. The guy who got rich off his book about "Leave No Child Behind" πŸ“š. I mean, what's next? His memoir? "A Vance-umentary: From Politician to Philanthropist"? Give me a break πŸ˜‚.
 
I'm still not convinced about these new age memorial ceremonies... πŸ€” I mean, wreath-laying is fine, but have you seen the cost of those things? It's like they're trying to break the bank with every little ceremony. And what's with all the fuss over the bells tolling at 11am? In my day, we just stopped whatever we were doing and remembered in silence... πŸ‘Ž
 
just saw that on tv πŸ“ΊπŸ‘ and I gotta say it's really beautiful how they paid respects at Arlington National Cemetery πŸ’”πŸ•ŠοΈ the wreath-laying ceremony is always so somber yet meaningful, but what I think is really important is that we're having a conversation about the sacrifices of our veterans 🀝 we need to keep honoring those who have given their lives for our country and making sure they're not forgotten 🌟 it's also great that President Trump and VP Vance were there to show respect and gratitude - it's moments like these that remind us why we even celebrate Veterans Day πŸ’•
 
πŸ•ŠοΈ I think its kinda weird how they always focus on WW1 for these ceremonies... don't get me wrong, it's super important to honor the dead, but what about all the other wars and conflicts that America's been involved in? Like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... shouldn't we be remembering those sacrifices too?

And another thing, I love Trump saying he'd never forget their service, but then again, he was all over Twitter last year saying some super disrespectful stuff about veterans. It's just not adding up, you know? Can't they all just get along and respect each other's differences?
