In-town pool report #5: Rainy memorial service

The audience applauded as President Trump, VP Vance, Secretary Hegseth and General Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, walked onto a stage at the front of the amphitheater at 12:30 p.m.

Rain has begun falling, prompting many in the crowd, which is exposed to the elements, to hurriedly put on ponchos. The president is expected to speak last, and the speeches are being live streamed.

Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing director of national intelligence, is also in attendance with the other administration officials listed in the previous report.
