“Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Cori Bush (D-MO) appeared to confuse Memorial Day — a day to honor fallen American service members — with Veterans Day, a day to honor those who have served.
Omar posted on X from her congressional account:
On #MemorialDay, we honor the heroic men and women who served our country.
We owe them more than our gratitude — they have more than earned access to quality mental health services, job opportunities, housing assistance, and the benefits they were promised.
Bush posted on her congressional X account:
This #MemorialDay & every day, we honor our veterans in St. Louis.
We must invest in universal health care, affordable housing, comprehensive mental health services, and educational & economic opportunities for our veterans as we work to build a world free of war and violence.
After both received flak from X users for not knowing the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, they deleted their posts.
HAHAHA HOLY SHLIT.
Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Cori Bush just deleted their Memorial Day tweets after revealing they have no clue what it is. pic.twitter.com/EsuGYAF6xS

Like many Americans, my Memorial Day weekend begins at the airport.
Out of the corner of my eye, I can see faces and cell phones pressed to the nearby airplane’s oval windows. A small crowd is also gathered above us in the terminal, looking on. My team of seven sailors, dressed in our summer whites, is waiting on the tarmac of Birmingham’s airport to receive the last remains of our shipmate.
We will carry him to the waiting hearse with all the dignity and precision that we can muster as an honor guard for the U.S. Navy.
In today’s America, the stillness and formality of this moment feels very much out of place with our casual and irreverent culture. I’m proud of my team, but I’m also heartened that busy travelers pause, take off their hats, and silently pay tribute to this sailor coming home.
As an officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, I have buried 173 fellow service members. Some have died young, like Joshua Kaleb Watson, an ensign just out of Annapolis, shot by an Islamic terrorist in Pensacola. Others have been old men, like Hormer Kapula, a World War II vet who died at 101 years old.

Several veterans currently serving in Congress — from both sides of the aisle — joined together to wash the Vietnam War Memorial ahead of the Memorial Day holiday honoring fallen service-members.
CBS News’ “Face the Nation” shared video of the project on Sunday, showing several members of Congress who served in different branches of the military as they hand-washed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
“Democrat, Republican, black, white, brown, none of that matters,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) said. “It just matters that we’re all Americans.”

Waltz and Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) also spoke with “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan about the “divide” between the 99% of Americans who have never served in the military and the 1% who have. Calling that chasm “deeply problematic as a democracy,” they told Brennan that they have been working together to find better ways to recruit more young Americans to serve.
With less than 1% of the American population serving in the military, the "divide" between the other 99% is "deeply problematic as a democracy," says @RepPatRyanNY, who is working with another veteran in Congress, Rep. @michaelgwaltz, on ways to recruit more service members. pic.twitter.com/DPEiYsdJfm

President Biden acknowledged Monday at a Memorial Day event that his late son Beau died from brain cancer and not while at war — 11 days after he wrongly told US troops in Japan that his son died “in Iraq.”
Biden told the grieving families of war dead at Arlington National Cemetery that his son didn’t die on the “battlefield” but that he believes his cancer may have been caused by exposure to toxic fumes from “burn pits” during a nearly yearlong deployment.
“Our losses are not the same. He didn’t perish in the battlefield. It was cancer that stole him from us a year after being deployed as a major in the US Army National Guard in Iraq,” Biden said, misstating by about five years the duration between his son’s return from deployment and death, though he later correctly stated the amount of time since Beau died.
The 80-year-old president has puzzled viewers by claiming at least three times since last year that his son died in Iraq.
Biden said in October that Beau “lost his life in Iraq” and claimed the following month that Iraq was “where my son died.” This month, he told a group of Marines during to a trip to the G-7 summit in Hiroshima that “we lost him in Iraq.” (Read more from “Biden Admits Beau Died From Cancer and ‘Didn’t Perish’ in Iraq — Just 11 Days After Saying Son Died at War” HERE)

Former President Donald Trump posted a Memorial Day message on Monday, thanking those who gave the “ultimate sacrifice” for the country they love while warning that the fight continues as the country remains in great peril.
“HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY THEY LOVE,” Trump began in the all-caps message on Truth Social.
He also thanked those in line of what he described as:
VERY DIFFERENT, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS FIRE, STOPPING THE THREATS OF THE TERRORISTS, MISFITS AND LUNATIC THUGS WHO ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY FROM WITHIN TO OVERTURN AND DESTROY OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY.
Trump continued, asserting the country has “NEVER BEEN IN GREATER PERIL THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW.”

Actor Chris Pratt shared a powerful Memorial Day sentiment about our country, its detractors, and those who have given their lives so that we have the right to complain.
Pratt shared images on Instagram of fallen U.S. veterans being mourned by their loved ones, originally posted by veteran and former MMA fighter Tim Kennedy.
Pratt detailed all of the good that American servicemen and women have accomplished throughout history, “From the Union Army defeating slave owning confederates, to the Greatest Generation and her Allies vanquishing the Nazis or our special operators hunting down the perpetrators of 9/11,” while praising the bravery and sacrifice those who have suffered and died for those causes. . .
“If you use the comments section on posts like this to b*tch and moan about America please understand there are countries in the world where criticizing your government will get you killed or imprisoned. Criticism is a right and necessity in amending the flawed systems of man. So by all means, let your voice be heard. But never forget your right to free expression is paid for in blood,” he wrote.

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden warned Americans on Memorial Day Monday that democracy in their country was “in peril,” citing concerns about the current political climate and restrictive voting laws.
“Democracy itself is in peril. Here at home and around the world,” Biden said, before specifically citing the right to vote “conveniently” as part of the “infrastructure” required to keep democracy intact.
Folks, you all know it, democracy thrives when the infrastructure of democracy is strong,” he said. “When people have the right to vote freely, and fairly, and conveniently. When a free and independent press pursues the truth founded on facts, not propaganda.”
Biden repeatedly tied the themes of democracy into his presidential campaign theme about preserving the “soul of America.”
“Empathy is the fuel of democracy,” he said. “Our willingness to see each other not as enemies, as neighbors, even when we disagree, to understand what the other is going through.” (Read more from “Biden Spends Memorial Day Attacking Voting Integrity Laws: ‘Democracy Itself Is in Peril'” HERE)
Biden Warns ‘Democracy Itself Is in Peril’ in Memorial Day Address (VIDEO)
By Fox News. President Joe Biden honored soldiers who lost their lives while fighting for the United States during a speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.
The 46th president focused a significant portion of his address on Monday warning about the risks posed to democracy, a topic that he brought up over the weekend to criticize Republican efforts in Texas to pass voting restrictions and following a 2020 election after which former President Donald Trump and his allies claimed that the contest was stolen despite assurances by federal and state officials that it was secure.
“Between dreams of democracy and appetites for autocracy, which we’re seeing around the world,” Biden said. “Our troops have fought this battle on fields around the world but also the battle of our time, and the mission falls to each of us each and every day. Democracy itself is in peril. Here at home and around the world.“
He said the way people honor “the memory of the fallen will determine whether or not democracy will long endure.” . . .
“Our willingness to see each other not as enemies, neighbors, even when we disagree, to understand what the other is going through,” he added. “To state the obvious, our democracy isn’t perfect, it always has been, but Americans of all backgrounds, races, creeds, gender identities, sexual orientations have long spilled their blood to defend our democracy.”

Former President Donald Trump honored the “fallen heroes” who made the “supreme sacrifice” for their country in a Memorial Day message, as he reminded Americans that “all that we are” is thanks to them.
“We remember the fallen heroes who took their last breaths in defense of our Nation, our families, our citizens, and our sacred freedoms. The depth of their devotion, the steel of their resolve, and the purity of their patriotism has no equal in human history,” he said. . .
“They made the supreme sacrifice so that our people can live in safety and our Nation can thrive in peace. It is because of their gallantry that we can together, as one people, continue our pursuit of America’s glorious destiny,” Trump continued.

Since General George Washington commanded the Continental Army, forty-two million Americans have served under the American Flag. In the past 243 years, one million American military personnel have been killed in the defense of the Republic, and another million and a half have been wounded.
Each year on Memorial Day weekend we honor American Patriots who have given the “last full measure of devotion” in their service to the Republic, so their fellow Americans could live their lives in freedom.
We not only honor American Combat Veterans who gave up their tomorrows, we also honor Veterans who were wounded, and other members of the US Armed Forces who were separated from their loved ones for long periods, often going into “Harm’s Way”.
On this Memorial Day weekend, the Republic’s most sacred and cherished Patriotic holiday, the nation solemnly pays homage to the thousands of Gold Star Families for the loss of their loved ones, and the enormity of their sacrifice!
On Memorial Day, and every day throughout the year, we also honor 23 million Veterans who served in the defense of the Republic. America owes those Veterans a debt of gratitude that it can never repay!
At one point in their lives, all those Veterans wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives”.
Americans should ensure that the nation’s youth are taught in their US History courses in school, and in their homes, to “never forget” the enormity of the sacrifice made thru the ages by millions of American Patriots that protected and defended the freedoms they enjoy.
