- Veterans and relatives see no place for Trump's arch near Arlington National Cemetery
Three Vietnam War veterans are suing to prevent President Trump from constructing an arch near Arlington National Cemetery, a site where 400,000 service members, veterans, and their relatives are buried. The lawsuit challenges the proposed structure's proximity to the cemetery.
- The Arch Is Atrocious
President Trump's proposed 250-foot arch at Memorial Circle near the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery faces opposition for disrupting the solemn atmosphere of these sites. The arch, featuring gilded statuary and inscriptions like 'One Nation Under God,' was approved by a federal commission but is challenged by Vietnam War veterans in court. Critics argue it would overshadow the historical significance of Lincoln and the war dead.
