President Donald Trump honored those who lost their lives serving the nation as he participated in a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery Monday – his first as president.
Trump visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington on Monday for the ceremony. After listening to the National Anthem, Trump slowly placed the wreath before the tomb.

He paused silently, and then walked away, concluded the simple ceremony for military service members who have fallen.
