He will also participate in the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder. The White House flag is flying half-staff in honor of the holiday.

Biden posted a graphic Monday on social media platform X, honoring the fallen for their sacrifice.

“Since America’s founding, our service members have laid down their lives for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States,” he wrote. “Today, as generations of heroes lie in eternal peace, we live by the light of liberty they kept burning. May God bless them, always.”

Prisoners fight against working in heat on former slave plantation, raising hope for change in South
“I saw guys collapse,” Gross said of his days on the so-called farm line at Louisiana’s state penitentiary, where men work for pennies an hour or nothing at all and face punishment if they refuse. It was once a patchwork of cotton fields where, historians note, even enslaved pregnant women and young children worked from dawn to dusk during the busiest and hottest harvesting months. In September, several incarcerated workers along with the New Orleans-based advocacy group Voice of the Experienced filed a class-action lawsuit calling for an end to the farm line, and accusing the state of cruel and unusual punishment.
