Former presidents honor fallen soldiers on Memorial Day
Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama took to social media on Monday to honor America’s fallen service members on Memorial Day.
Obama shared a photo of himself in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with a message honoring “our fallen heroes.”
We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. But we can remember them, honor their sacrifice, and affirm in our own lives those enduring ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for which generations of Americans have given that last full measure of devotion. pic.twitter.com/pRxwmaMClL
