Trump also highlighted the multitude of ways his administration has worked on behalf of veterans since returning to office, including processing 3 million Veterans Affairs (VA) claims that were backlogged, adding over 1 million extra service hours across VA centers, and opening 20 more facilities in more than a dozen states around the country. “We also have brought back VA choice and VA accountability taken away by the Biden administration, so that when you have to wait online, you go out and you get yourself a doctor; we pay for the doctor,” Trump noted. Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, and U.S. Trade Ambassador Jameson Greer were among the officials who joined Trump at Arlington National Cemetery.
