Donald Trump: ‘Our Debt’ to Fallen Service Members ‘Is Eternal’ and Ever-Growing
President Donald Trump said during his Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery that the sacrifices of America’s fallen servicemembers endure each and every day, and the debt Americans owe these selfless heroes only grows.
Trump spoke alongside Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shortly after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In his remarks, Trump paid tribute to those who were killed in action, laying down the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America.
“The sacrifice that they made was not merely for a single battle, a long-ago victory, or a fleeting triumph decades or centuries past; their sacrifice was for today, tomorrow, and every morning thereafter,” Trump said.

“Every child that lives in peace, every home that is filled with joy and love, every day the Republic stands is only possible because of those who did what had to be done when duty called and the cost was everything to them and to their families,” he added.
Trump then spoke of the ever-growing debt Americans owe to those who laid down their lives in the name of the nation.
