President Biden paid tribute to American fallen soldiers on Memorial Day — and also marked the anniversary of his own son’s death from cancer.
On a somber day for the commander-in-chief and father, Biden laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Under a blazing late-spring sun, he told hundreds of families of soldiers who died in war that remembrance is always a mixed blessing.
