Joe Biden and his wife Jill participated in their own commemoration of Veterans Day by laying a wreath at the Korean War Memorial at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the same time Trump held his event in Virginia on Wednesday.

In his Veterans Day proclamation Wednesday morning, Trump touted the work his administration has done to improve veterans’ lives and reiterated his commitments to veterans and military members.

‘As Commander in Chief, I have relentlessly fought to support America’s veterans,’ Trump wrote. ‘For far too long, our Government had not fully met its obligation to provide for ‘him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan.’ 

‘I recognize that this country and its people are duty-bound to care for our exceptional veterans, their families, and their survivors. That is why, throughout my time in office, I have worked tirelessly to improve the health, welfare, and economic prosperity of these treasured people,’ he continued.

Trump also lauded his moves as president to overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs, including increasing funding and giving them the choice to receive care from local healthcare providers.

He said another accomplishment within the VA was ‘removing employees who were not giving our veterans the care and attention they deserve and making the agency more accountable to the heroes it serves.’

The wreath-laying Wednesday morning is the first time Trump has been seen since Sunday as he has not held any public events or had anything on his official presidential schedule the past few days as he continues to claim he won the presidential election despite projections showing Joe Biden as the victor.
