Beautiful at any time, I find Arlington National Cemetery an especially profound and peaceful place to visit on a day when we remember those who served, and sometimes died, for our country. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson said:
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
I look forward to a future of greater peace and justice.
