President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris observed Veterans Day together by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The solemn ceremony marked their first joint appearance since Harris’s election loss, underscoring their dedication to honouring the nation’s veterans.
Biden then addressed a crowd at Arlington National Cemetery’s ceremonial amphitheater, reflecting on the service and sacrifice of military members and their families.
In what he said was his final address there as Commander in Chief, Biden called leading and defending the nation’s military “the greatest honor” of his life.
He also announced expanded health care coverage under the PACT Act for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.
Biden concluded by honouring veterans as “the finest fighting force in the history of the world.”
