President Donald Trump used his Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen American service members, including 13 troops killed during the recent conflict with Iran, placing their sacrifice at the center of a national day of remembrance.
Speaking during the annual observance at Arlington, Trump recognized the service members who died during what he described as Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign launched amid escalating tensions between the United States, Israel and Iran. He said the troops gave their lives to ensure that Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon, according to ABC News.
