Thousands of Americans came to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day 2021 to pay their respects to our nation’s heroes.
In this video, Col. Michael Binetti, Chief of Staff of Arlington National Cemetery, shared the meaning of Memorial Day and guides the public through today’s National Memorial Day Observance.
Arlington National Cemetery represents the American people for past, present and future generations by laying to rest those few who have served our nation with dignity and honor, while immersing guests in the cemetery's living history. For those with loved one laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, today and every day is Memorial Day.

Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave the welcome address, Lloyd Austin III, Secretary of Defense, provided remarks, and President Joseph Biden shared a Memorial Day address to the nation.
