That seems unlikely enough that it makes me really wonder who sent the invitation, as well as when, where and how.  If the invitations were sent via whatever the proper channels might be, it’s difficult to imagine that both offices wouldn’t have at least sent letters expressing regrets.  Both offices must get hundreds of invitations each week. A response would have been routine.  So, definitely something I’m curious about. Was a letter sent to the right offices, a few months in advance?  Did someone send a tweet a few days ahead of the event?  This all seems quite odd. [/quote]

My theory is that some Trump aide heard the dad’s speech at the RNC and cooked up the ceremony. I doubt that the families had the wherewithal to secure honor guards to attend.  The date of the “invitations” will support me on this.  An acting president can’t always drop everything to attend a ceremony, and if he did, it would imply that he should attend constant anniversaries of honorable deaths. President Biden attended their honorable transfer three years ago at Dover.  When the president gazed at rosary beads he had wrapped around his wrist, MAGA media exploded with the accusation that he was looking at his watch. [/quote]

You are wrong. The date of the ceremony was the actual anniversary of the bombing.

Arlington provides the Military personnel to support the ceremony.

You are just so wrong.

I don’t see rosary beads.

How come only the one family was involved in "the ceremony" and not all 13 families?  If it's supposedly some kind of "official ceremony for the anniversary of the attack" then why were the other 12 families excluded from it?

And did Trump attend the 1st anniversary "official ceremony?"  Or the 2nd anniversary "official ceremony?"  The answer is no, because there was no such "official ceremony" and more to the point, because it wasn't an election year and Trump didn't give a shit because it only meant something to him if he could use it as a political stunt.

And, it's very well known he wears rosary beads on that wrist with that watch but they may be above or below where the watch band is, and either way  are typically hidden by his shirt cuff.

It's YOU who is "just so wrong."[/quote]

You have repeated that only one Abbey Gate Family participated in the Wreath Laying ceremony and the other 12 were “excluded.”

Source?
Citation?

Where are you getting that information from?[/quote]

Face it. Trump has angered many people with his sacrilege.

The rabbit hole of the “ceremony” details are irrelevant. [/quote]

You are just making crap up.

If the details are irrelevant, then why are you lying about the Wreath Laying Ceremony?[/quote]

Why was only one family involved in this supposed "Wreath Laying Ceremony?"  Why wasn't Trump there for the 1st or 2nd Anniversary?  Why weren't Arlington rules being followed if it was supposedly an official Arlington ceremony?

The answer is that this was NOT an official Wreath Laying Ceremony.  It was a political stunt, orchestrated by a family member who spoke at the RNC convention, meant to try and cast shame on the Biden admin just 2 months before the election.   Though, as we all know, Trump was responsible for setting up and sabotaging the Afghanistan withdrawal before Biden even got into office. [/quote]

A wreath was laid by the family of Sgt Nicole Gee; a wreath was laid for the Abbey Gate 13.

[b]Both wreath laying ceremonies were official US Army Wreath laying ceremonies.[/b]

So by “official” you are saying these were organized by ANC or the military, is that what you are claiming?  Please clarify. [/quote]

Watch the ceremony. The Guard announces exactly what is happening. The Guard announces who the first and second wreath are for.

That’s what is so weird; the ceremony is online and nobody complaining about it here had watched it.

Do you think random people can just ask for a wreath laying ceremony or a burial ceremony at ANC?

Offering flowers at a memorial site is a ritual that occurs around the world, symbolizing the beauty and brevity of life. Floral tributes are made each day at Arlington National Cemetery — at funeral services, public ceremonies and individual visits to a loved one's gravesite.

Formal ceremonies at Arlington often involve the laying of a wreath. These ceremonies typically take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, attended by ceremonial units from the uniformed services. You may have the opportunity to observe such a ceremony during your visit. You might even be taking part in one.

The most solemn ceremonies occur when the president of the United States, or the president's designee, lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to mark the national observance of Memorial Day, Veterans Day or some other special occasion. Ceremonial wreath layings also occur during state visits of foreign dignitaries, who pay formal respects to the sacrifices of America's veterans by placing a wreath before the Tomb.

Wreath layings by other public figures and organizations take place at the Tomb or at the scores of other memorials throughout the cemetery, although most are not marked with the same ceremonial pomp of the state events. These include annual observances by veterans' groups and special events such as the dedication of a marker or the commemoration of an anniversary.

The Abbey Gate 13 Wreath Laying ceremony took place on the 3rd anniversary of the bombing. It is considered the commemoration of an anniversary.
