After the ceremony, Trump delivered remarks marking Memorial Day and the sacrifice of members of the United States military.

“These warriors picked up the mantle of duty and service, knowing that to live for others meant always that they might die for others. They asked nothing. They gave everything. And we owe them everything and more,” Trump said.

“The greatest monument to their courage is not carved in marble or cast in bronze — it’s all around us, an American nation 325 million strong, which will soon be greater than it has ever before,” he continued.

During his remarks, Trump told the stories of a couple fallen heroes. He told of Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, who was killed by a suicide bomber in Syria in 2019. Kent was the wife of Joe Kent, a former GOP candidate for Congress who now serves as the chief of staff for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

The president also spoke of Senior Master Sergeant Elroy Harworth, who was killed while fighting in Vietnam.

Trump honored fallen warriors, calling them “America’s best and bravest.”

“We just revere their incredible legacy,” said Trump. “We salute them in their eternal and everlasting glory. And we continue our relentless pursuit of America’s destiny as we make our nation stronger, prouder, freer, and greater than ever before.”

On Monday, Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI, announced that the agency would further its investigation into cocaine being found in the Biden White House and the leak of the draft of the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court that overruled Roe v. Wade, and the pipe bombs that were left near the DNC and RNC offices in Washington, D.C., in on January 2021.

On July 2, 2023, the Secret Service discovered powder cocaine in a vestibule cubby at the White House where visitors store mobile phones. President Biden and his family were at Camp David at the time. The Secret Service concluded its investigation ten days later.

“There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,” the FBI stated at the time. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.”

In May 2022, someone leaked a draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Supreme Court denounced the leak as “a grave assault on the judicial process.” Gail Curley, the court official assigned with investigating the incident, stated, “If a Court employee disclosed the draft opinion, that person brazenly violated a system that was built fundamentally on trust with limited safeguards to regulate and constrain access to very sensitive information.”

“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Bongino wrote on X. “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case.”
