ARLINGTON, VA. 🇺🇸 President Donald Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day, joined by VP JD Vance, VA Secretary Doug Collins, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A 21-gun salute rang out as they saluted the eternal flame. ⚔️ https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/

The ceremony closed with Taps—the haunting 24-note bugle call played at military funerals and memorials since the Civil War. Meaning: *“Day is done, gone the sun… all is well, safely rest, God is nigh.” A final farewell to the fallen. 🪦🎺

Born in 1921 on Robert E. Lee’s former estate, the Tomb guards unidentified heroes of WWI, WWII, and Korea. Sentinels of the 3rd Infantry have stood watch 24/7 since 1937—through storms and silence. 🇺🇸🫡
