Vietnam vets sue to derail Trump’s Independence Arch near Arlington
Three Vietnam War veterans backed by Public Citizen sue the federal government to block the construction of a 250-foot Independence Arch near Arlington National Cemetery, arguing President Trump did not secure the necessary congressional or independent-agency approvals and that the memorial would dishonor veterans; White House officials defend the project as a landmark while preservationists warn it could disrupt historic surroundings and review processes continue through federal commissions.
