Trump further said that these heroes came from various economic backgrounds as some were rich and others were poor.
“The heroes who rest in these hallowed fields, in cemeteries, battlefields, and burial grounds near and far are drawn the full tapestry of American life. They came from every generation from towering cities and wind-swept prairies, from privilege and from poverty”, Trump added.
