Leader Boehner will attend the ceremony that follows at the cemetery's Memorial Amphitheater.
"Today, we pause to pay proper respect to the heroes who have donned the uniform of our country and -- along with their families -- sacrificed so much so that we may enjoy the blessings of freedom," Leader Boehner said. "As we keep faith with our former defenders, we also pray for our sons and daughters overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world standing guard in defense of our freedom."
Leader Boehner has also recorded a brief message honoring the 235th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. This tribute will be aired tonight at an event for Marines of Wounded Warrior Battalion-East located at the National Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
