Memorial Day is a federal holiday held on the last Monday of May every year to honor the men and women who died in battle to protect the U.S. It is different from Veterans Day, a November holiday to honor all men and women who served.
On Monday, President Donald Trump also took part in an annual ceremony to honor the fallen service members at Arlington National Cemetery with a speech and a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
“To every parent who weeps for a child, to every child who mourns for a parent and to every husband or wife whose heart has been torn in two today we ask God to comfort your pain, to ease your sorrow and to wipe away your tears,” Trump said during his speech, reports CNN. “This is a very special day and today our whole country thanks you, embraces you and pledges to you we will never forget our heroes.”
Trump’s first tweet on Memorial Day was not as welcomed as Kardashian’s, as he included successes of his presidency.
“Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today,” the president tweeted. “Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!”
