Obama Honors Veterans at Arlington
----------------------------------



As the administration discussed sending more troops to Afghanistan,
President Obama visited Arlington National Cemetery to take part in a
Veterans Day ceremony.

President Obama: “For the better part of a decade, they have endured
tour after tour in distant and difficult places. They have protected us
from danger, and they have given others the opportunity for a better
life. So to all of them, to our veterans, to the fallen and to their
families, there’s no tribute, no commemoration, no praise that can truly
match the magnitude of your service and your sacrifice.”
