President Donald Trump delivered Veterans Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, where the planned construction of his 250-foot Triumphal Arch remains a contentious issue.
Veterans and family members of fallen soldiers are protesting the arch, arguing it will disrupt military burials and cast shadows over gravesites.
The National Capital Planning Commission voted 8-4 to allow construction of the arch, but U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued an 14-day temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from beginning construction.
The arch, which would include a tourist observation deck, is slated to rise between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, altering the landscape of the hallowed grounds.
Veterans and family members of the Kennedy political dynasty have asked a judge to block the project, citing concerns about the arch's impact on the cemetery's sanctity.
Democratic-aligned groups VoteVets and Home of the Brave have joined forces to rally against the arch, arguing that it will disrupt the quiet and solemn nature of Arlington National Cemetery.
The arch's construction would disrupt the Avenue of Heroes, a passage meant to serve as a tribute to fallen soldiers.
Veterans and family members of fallen soldiers expressed their dismay, with one veteran saying, 'We don’t need tourists overlooking funerals. I’m just appalled.'
