Arlington National Cemetery confirmed an incident when former President Donald Trump visited the previous day to commemorate the Abbey Gate attacks in Afghanistan. Political campaign activities are prohibited within Army National Military Cemeteries, and all participants were informed of these laws. Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to mark the anniversary of the attack. Parents of fallen service members are angry at President Joe Biden’s administration for a lack of answers regarding the attack. Trump headed to Section 60, where some service members killed in Afghanistan and Iraq are buried, and there was allegedly a verbal and physical altercation with cemetery officials trying to prevent filming. Trump’s campaign denied some details of the altercation and claimed a private photographer was allowed on the premises. Trump’s team accused an individual of preventing them from accompanying him to the event. The controversy follows Trump’s recent comments comparing civilian awards to military awards and previous allegations of disparaging remarks towards fallen soldiers, which he has denied. Trump was at Section 60 on the invitation of Abbey Gate Gold Star families to honor their loved ones. The incident has sparked debate and criticism of the handling of the visit and the behavior of those involved.
