During the Veterans Day service held on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, U.S. President Joe Biden was seen sporting a tear in his eye when he was singing “God Bless America.” As the musical rendition filled the historic grounds, Biden seemed incredibly moved, having the emotional release as he sang along during the ceremony dedicated to paying respect to the sacrifices of the military personnel of the United States. A clip from the moment has appeared on X formerly Twitter.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris paid their respects to American veterans in their first official appearance since Donald Trump was re-elected, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and standing in silent contemplation as Biden then made the sign of the cross.
This will be my last time as commander-in-chief standing here at Arlington, said Biden in his speech, profoundly thanking:. “It’s been the greatest honor of my life, to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us generation after generation.” He also remembered his son, Beau Biden, who died recently after having served as a major in the Delaware Army National Guard and serving in Iraq. Their pride was immeasurable when their son was commissioned.

He remembered the military families through the sacrifices made as he said, “Like many of you, we remember how hard it was when he was deployed, empty seat at the dinner table, missed holidays, prayers of worry repeated every night.” In a word to all military families, he reassured them: “For all the military families, for all those with a missing or loved one still unaccounted for, to all those with loved ones who have died in combat.”. Jill and I want you to know that we see you, we thank you, and we will never stop working to meet our sacred obligation to you and your families.
