President Trump Honors the Fallen Twice on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery and Fort McHenry

From the May 25, 2020, KGNS TV  Laredo, Tx, "Trump honors war dead  in events colored by pandemic's threat" by Darlene Superville.

President Donald Trump honored America's war dead Monday in back-to-back Memorial Day appearances marred by  an epic struggle off the battlefield   against the coronavirus.

The U.S. death toll to the virus is now approaching 100,000 (and has now surpassed it).

Trump first went to Arlington National Cemetery.  Traditionally on Memorial Day, presidents lay a wreath and speak there, but this year it was different.

Many attendees arrived wearing masks but removed them for the outdoor ceremony in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Trump, maskless as always in public, gave no remarks.  He approached a wreath already in place, stood in reflection, saluted it then touched it.

He then traveled to Fort McHenry in Baltimore where he declared:  "Together we will vanquish the virus and America will rise from this crisis to new and even greater heights.  No obstacle, no challenge and no threat is a match for the sheer determination of the American people."
