A part of being President of the United States is to lead and protect its citizens. After participating in the wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington, President Trump and Vice-President Pence walked to place flowers on the headstone of First Lieutenant Robert Kelly -son of DHS Secretary General John Kelly- who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010.
Along the way they met with some of the families who were there to honor their loved ones who gave their lives for their country.

Stella's Place 
It amazes me how comfortable he is with everyday people and how genuine he is. He truly loves and respects the military and their families. The haters were out on FB and Twitter today. I started to fight back and then realized, it is like talking to a brick wall. I just wish they could at least give him a chance. Got more than my share of hate too. I will not let it ruin this amazing day listening to my President.

I tried to say that an really got burned by Trump is a liar, a traitor, he should not even be standing there because he hates the military. It was stunning and painful. I don’t think they will ever change and that makes them dangerous.

If they let it go what else would they have to do? 😊

VP Pence looks as if he is about to cry in that video.

They are both men who realize that they carry the weight of the world on their soldiers rather than opportunists counting the perks they can suck from decent Americans.

Yes, Stella when your young and in moments like these tear are harder to come by. Older, mature the tears flow.
