Trump and Biden's divergent Memorial Day messages spark controversy

Former President Trump and President Biden had different ways of honoring Memorial Day on social media this year. Memorial Day is a special day for those who have served in the military. It reminds us of what it means to be American and the duties of citizenship. Veterans Day is another important day to remember those who have served. Many soldiers I've met have a good sense of humor despite facing tough situations. They take their duties seriously and are truly admirable. Some soldiers sacrifice a lot for the greater good, looking after their fellow soldiers like family. They believe strongly in upholding the values of citizenship and democracy. They work in risky conditions, far from their families for long periods. Some military members I've met are seeking U.S. citizenship, while others are the first in their families born in America. Some saw the military as a path to a better life. One soldier I knew served as a medic in the Battle of the Bulge and helped liberate thousands from a concentration camp. We must always remember the sacrifices our veterans have made, even if we question the political decisions that led them into danger. It's our duty to honor their memory and continue the work they started. Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly revealed that Trump insulted wounded veterans and fallen soldiers. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the bravery and dedication of those who have served our country.
