Obama Pays Tribute To America's Fallen: President Lays Wreath In Somber Ceremony As Memorial Day Is Honored Across The Country -- Daily Mail/AP
President Barack Obama has honored the nation's fallen military service members by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in a somber ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Obama rode by motorcade from the White House to the hallowed burial grounds in suburban Virginia on a sun-splashed, but cool spring holiday as cannon fire was heard in the distance.
Surrounded by officials and families of service members, he carried out the Memorial Day tradition before reflecting silently on the lives lost to battle as he held his hand held to his chest.
Obama was joined by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, cemetery Executive Director Kathryn Condon and Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington, commander of the Army's military district of Washington.
The president will now deliver remarks at the Memorial Amphitheater.
