President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris observed Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday in what was their first appearance together since last week’s election.
The two participated in a full honor wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before Biden made remarks at the Memorial Amphitheater.
“This is the last time I will stand here at Arlington as commander in chief,” Biden said. “It's been the greatest honor of my life to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us.”
Biden, who began by quoting President Abraham Lincoln, said this is the moment to "come together as a nation." "The world is dependent on each of you and all of us, all of you, to keep honoring the women and the men and the families of borne, the battle," he said. "To keep protecting everything they fought for. To keep striving to heal our nation's wounds. To keep perfecting our union."
