To the oligarchs who give money for favors?” asked one veteran and former diplomat who is involved in the legal effort By Joseph Konig Published on May 26, 2026 02:09PM EDT Vietnam War veterans who dedicated much of their lives to U.S. government service are suing the Trump administration to halt the construction of the president’s proposed arch just outside of Washington, D.C. The arch, which President Donald Trump has said is a monument being built for himself, is being constructed without congressional approval and will be situated between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. It’s planned height — twice that of the 99-foot-tall Lincoln Memorial — would obstruct the view between the two hallowed memorials in a “disrespectful” manner, the veterans argued, with at least one now reconsidering his desire to be buried at Arlington, the nation’s largest military cemetery. https://people.com/vietnam-veterans-sue-to-halt-trump-arch-construction-11983743 Report Remind Me Link
