May 25, 2026 at Arlington Cemetery: ‘There could be no Independence Day without Memorial Day’

President Donald Trump delivered his Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, tying the ultimate sacrifice made by fallen U.S. service members to this year’s 250th anniversary of America’s founding.

“Before we hail the founding, we honor the fallen,” Trump said. “Before we celebrate the triumph, we pay the tribute. Before we crown the victory, we count the cost.

“Today, we are reminded that there could be no Fourth of July without America’s armed forces, and there could be no Independence Day without Memorial Day.”

And then there was CBS’s Margaret Brennan, who tried to prod two Medal of Honor recipients into bashing America during what she insists are “dark times.” The men did not oblige.
