President Obama paid tribute to America's veterans with a speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday, calling on the nation to do more to honor those who served.
"Today a proud nation expresses our gratitude but we do so mindful that no ceremony or parade, no handshake or hug is enough to truly honor that service," Obama said to the crowd of military personnel. "For that we must do more, for that we must commit this day and every day to serving you as well as you've served us."
The speech was part of a wreath laying ceremony at the cemetery to commemorate Veterans Day.
 Obama noted that Sunday was the first Veterans Day in ten years that American troops were not in Iraq.
welcome news then in 2015 we can say the same about Afghanistan. from the same Pres.
