freedom’ in Veterans Day remarks

Biden honored Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, a site he described as a “sanctuary of sacrifice” during his deeply personal remarks.

“We come together.here today to once again honor the generation of Americans who stood on the front lines of freedom,” the president said, “to once again bear witness to the great deeds of a noble few who risked everything – everything to give us a better future, those who have always, always kept the light of liberty shining bright across the world – our veterans.”

Biden called Veterans Day personal for his family as he talked about his late son, Beau Biden, who served in the Delaware Army National Guard. “On this day I can still see my son, the attorney general of Delaware, standing ramrod straight as I pinned his bars on him the day he joined,” the president said. “We miss him.”

Biden also offered praise for military families and acknowledged those who have lost loved ones or have family members unaccounted for, saying, “We see you, we stand with you, and we will not forget.”
