Pete Hegseth delivered a powerful Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery honoring America’s fallen service members and Gold Star families. Speaking alongside Donald Trump and JD Vance, Hegseth reflected on the sacrifices made by U.S. military personnel throughout American history — from past wars to modern conflicts. He emphasized the importance of remembrance, patriotism, and honoring those who “gave the last full measure of devotion” for the nation. The solemn ceremony also featured a performance of “Soldier” by Craig Morgan and remarks from Vice President JD Vance, who paid tribute to veterans who never returned home.
