President Bush honors fallen soldiers on Memorial Day
President George W. Bush made a Memorial Day visit to the Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen soldiers. He placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and briefly spoke. He then met privately at the White House with the families of "a new generation of fallen leaders". Bush says that he believes that this war is the destiny of our nation. "This is our country's calling," Bush said. "It's our country's destiny."
As we remember today all the sacrifices made and the lives given so we could be free, the war in Iraq still rages on and lives are still being sacrificed. "The greatest memorial to our fallen troops cannot be found in the words we say or the places we gather," Bush said today. "The more lasting tribute is all around us."
