A World War II soldier who was killed in the mountains of France during a German offensive in 1944 has been identified, and his remains will be reburied at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, military officials said this week. Jeremiah P. Mahoney, 19, of Chicago, was killed on Jan. 17, 1945, in the Vosges Mountains of France during a weeks-long battle.

A federal judge has ordered the Department of Defense to turn over records related to former President Donald Trump's controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery – meaning the public could soon see the incident report concerning an alleged altercation between Trump campaign officials and a cemetery employee. American Oversight, a watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit against DOD to obtain the incident report of the alleged Aug. 26 incident involving a member of Trump's campaign and the cemetery staff member. ABC News has previously reported that there was a physical and verbal altercation between a Trump campaign official...

One of the first major pitfalls of Kamala Harris' young campaign seemed to materialize over the holiday weekend, as her team traded barbs with the Trump camp over accusations of disrespecting the military. Harris first accused Trump of staging a "political stunt" during a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, intended to honor service members killed in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

Gold Star father said that Harris' statement was 'heinous, vile and disgusting Gold Star families who lost loved ones in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal blasted Vice President Kamala Harris over her attack on former President Trump for his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week. Harris accused Trump of playing politics with the Monday visit, but in a series of short videos, eight families said they had invited Trump, and bitterly blasted the Biden-Harris administration over the disastrous pullout that left 13 U.S. service members dead three years ago. The messages, each featuring different parents of service members killed...

On August 26, 2021, 13 service members were killed by bomb during the Biden/Harris panic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Three years later Gold Star families invited Donald Trump to participate in commemoration of their losses. Kamala Harris took a cheap shot at Trump for his visit: Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump’s controversial photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery with Gold Star families on Monday, claiming he “disrespected sacred ground.” Even though he was invited by Gold Star families, Democratic presidential nominee accused Trump of staging a “political stunt” after his campaign staff got into an altercation with a...

Former Congresswoman and Trump ally Tulsi Gabbard went on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash on Sunday to discuss President Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery. President Trump visited Arlington Cemetery with Gold Star Families on the anniversary of the Kabul bombing that killed 13 US servicemembers. Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021 led to the death of 13 US servicemembers and many more wounded. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and the fake news media shamelessly attacked President Trump for honoring the Gold Star families.

NBC News’ Meet the Press admitted Sunday that anchor Kristen Welker had been incorrect to say that Vice President Kamala Harris had met the families of Americans killed in Afghanistan — though it also botched the correction. In an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Welker challenged the Republican over former President Donald Trump’s visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery to pay his respects to the 13 fallen American soldiers on the third anniversary of the terror attack on Abbey Gate at the international airport in Kabul. The Harris/Walz campaign accused Trump of politicizing the memorial, amid controversy over...

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not invited to Arlington National Cemetery by Gold Star families last week to commemorate the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate, a White House official and a Harris aide told NBC News, refuting separate claims made Sunday by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. The two were speaking about former President Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week, where he has drawn criticism for posing for photos with Gold Star families in a section of the cemetery where photos are traditionally prohibited. Last week,...

Vice President Kamala Harris excoriated former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday for his visit on Monday to Arlington National Cemetery, where his campaign’s filming of him in a heavily restricted area caused a confrontation between one of his political aides and a cemetery official. In her first public comments on the situation, Ms. Harris said that Mr. Trump had desecrated a solemn place that should be free of politics when he appeared there for a wreath-laying ceremony for 13 service members who were killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan during the withdrawal of U.S. troops three years ago....

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked the U.S. Army in a letter Friday for a full report and a briefing on former President Trump’s visit to Arlington cemetery, after reports of a confrontation between his staff and cemetery officials surfaced. Raskin, the ranking member on the House Oversight Commitee, sent the letter, obtained by The Hill, to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth. The lawmaker asked her to provide a report on the incident, including whether the former president’s staff “violated federal law or Cemetery rules and whether the Trump campaign informed the families of servicemembers buried at the Cemetery that...

For several months, some conservative commentators had pointed to Bill Maher suddenly seeing the light and expressing common sense criticisms of the Democrats as being the greatest conversion since St. Paul rode to Damascus. If you accepted this act as being truthful, forget it. Maher's disenchantment with the Democrats was short lived. It had everything to do with Biden being a certain loser in the November 5th election. Now that Harris has usurped the nomination, Maher is back on the Democratic Party reservation. In the latest episode of "Real Time," Maher lauded Nancy Pelosi and permitted her to lie shamelessly...

(NewsNation) — A reported altercation between Donald Trump’s campaign staff and an Arlington National Cemetery official isn’t likely to sway voters in November, GOP New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said. “Trump is very unique in that respect because he’s connecting with people on a gut level of fighting. They want a fighter,” Sununu said during his Thursday appearance on “NewsNation Now.” “They’re willing to forgive all this other stuff because he’s willing to fight and disrupt.” The Republican presidential nominee visited the cemetery Monday to honor 13 service members who died during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The US Army issued a stark rebuke of former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign over the incident on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, saying in a statement on Thursday that participants in the ceremony “were made aware of federal laws” regarding political activity at the cemetery, and “abruptly pushed aside” an employee of the cemetery.“Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside,”...

Former President Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to mark the three-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan as he sought to turn the chaotic pullout into a resonant line of attack against Vice President Harris. Trump was joined by family members of some of the 13 U.S. soldiers who were killed in a bombing at Abbey Gate during the withdrawal for a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Today, ABC News reported statements issued by President Biden and Vice President Harris on the third anniversary of the bombing of the Kabula Airport in which thirteen US Marines perished. ABC News omitted to state that neither Biden or Harris actually took part in any memorial ceremonies to honor the fallen Marines. More significantly, the radio network report FAILED to indicated the former President Trump attended a memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery this morning and took part in the presentation of wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This is one of the worst examples of media bias...

CNN host Jim Acosta asked Monday on “Newsroom” if former President Donald Trump should be at Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath to mark the third anniversary of the attack on Abbey Gate. Acosta said, “Former President Trump was at Arlington National Cemetery, where he marked the three-year anniversary of the bombing that killed 13 service members during the Afghanistan withdrawal. This is someone who, according to his own former chief of staff, said Americans who died in war are, ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ Trump denies that, although John Kelly confirms that Trump did say that. He more recently said...
