President Joe Biden will give a Memorial Day address after the wreath-laying ceremony as part of the 155th National Memorial Day observance.
"On Memorial Day, we honor America's fallen heroes who gave their last full measure of devotion to this nation."
"We'll never be able to repay the debt we owe them. But today, we rededicate ourselves to the work for which they gave their lives, and we recommit to supporting the loved ones they left behind," Biden tweeted Monday. The commander-in-chief will give an address at the Memorial Amphitheater following the wreath-laying ceremony.
Memorial Day is a day of reflection and remembrance of those who died while serving in the U.S. military, according to the Congressional Research Service. The holiday is observed in part by the National Moment of Remembrance, which encourages all Americans to pause at 3 p.m. for a moment of silence, the Associated Press reported.
