President Trump on Monday marked his first Memorial Day as commander in chief, heading to Arlington National Cemetery through the throngs of motorcycles participating in Rolling Thunder to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The large audience packed into the cemetery’s amphitheater cheered when Trump was introduced, and the president delivered a powerful tribute to America’s fallen service members, calling them “angels sent to us by God.”

“To every Gold Star family, God is with you, and your loved ones are with him,” Trump said. “They died in wars so that we could live in peace. Every time you see the sun rise over this blessed land, please know your brave sons and daughters pushed away the night and delivered for us all that great and glorious dawn.”

Of course, you wouldn't know that Trump did that if you looked at the top newspapers in the country. In fact, you wouldn't even know that Monday was Memorial Day, or that nearly every town across the United States held a parade to honor America's troops.

Only USA Today, among the country's biggest papers, featured a shot of Trump laying the wreath, with a reference to an inside story and more pictures.

But here's the shot that, had former president Barack Obama done it, would've put him on every front page across the country. Since it was Trump, though, the country's liberal papers decided not to print it. 

The boy's name is Christian Jacobs, 6, and he's dressed like a Marine because his father, Marine Sgt. Christopher Jacobs, was killed during a training accident in California in 2011.

A great picture of America's president on Memorial Day. And every newspaper that didn't run it -- for purely partisan reasons -- ought to be ashamed.

Life can be compared to a series of auditions. Regardless of who we are, we are

constantly auditioning for a part: to be the most loving spouse, attentive parent or

amazing employee. It is human nature to want to be loved, affirmed and accepted.

Can you give us an example of how He has used your experiences for His glory?

Has playing so many characters and personalities made it difficult for you to find your

own identity and purpose in Christ?

What do you do when you discover your focus has shifted

back to self?

Why do you think we often trade the applause of the One who

You write about the great freedom to be found in sharing our past struggles and being authentic about

what God has rescued us from. How does being vulnerable about our past failures free us to

shift the spotlight more effectively to God?

How do we do the hard things God asks of us when it goes against what we want for ourselves?
