歐巴馬總統在無名戰士塚前放下花圈,紀念退伍軍人節日,誓言未來將滿足軍人所需。
雖然在中東和亞洲的戰爭已漸入尾聲,阿靈頓國家公墓的儀式有歐巴馬當亮點,他承諾協助退伍軍人回歸「正常」生活。
歐巴馬說:「在經過十年的戰爭後,我們的英雄要返鄉了,」並說:「在未來幾年間,將有超過一百萬現役軍人轉型回到一般市民生活。」
歐巴馬總統重申延續後911士兵福利法案的決策,聲明:「為國家遠赴海外征戰的人,不需要為找工作、求得遮風避雨的房子、或是他們早已贏得的關心而戰。」
儀式後,歐巴馬到第60區,此為公墓裡埋葬伊拉克和阿富汗遇難士兵之處,他向埋葬在此的士兵致敬。
(Politics) Obama Wins over Veterans, Pledges Support
President Obama marked this past Veterans Day holiday by laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and pledging that soldiers needs would be met in the future.
Even though the wars in the Middle East and Asia are winding down, the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery had Obama in the spotlight as he pledged to assist veterans return to their normal lives.
According to Obama, After a decade of war, our heroes are coming home, and, Over the next few years more than a million servicemen will transition back to civilian life.
President Obama reaffirmed his decision to continue to the post-9/11 GI program, stating, No one who fights for this country overseas should ever have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they have earned when they come home.
After the ceremony, Obama also visited section 60, an area of the cemetery where many soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan were buried, to pay his respects.
