Trump to speak at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day
The president is set to give remarks Wednesday morning after a national wreath laying ceremony with the First Lady.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. as part of Veterans Day commemorations. Before his remarks, he and First Lady Melania Trump are set to take part in the 2026 National Veterans Day Wreath Laying Ceremony. The Washington Examiner is carrying the events live.
Why it matters Veterans Day is a time for the country to pause and recognize those who have served in the military. A wreath laying is a traditional way to show respect, and a presidential address gives the day a national audience. For many families, it is also a moment to reflect on service and sacrifice.
What you can do If you can't watch at 11:30 a.m., look for coverage later in the day. Take a moment to thank a veteran you know, whether with a call, a note or a visit, and consider joining a local observance in your community.
