Vietnam Vets sue to halt Trump's Arlington arch, framing loyalty to the country
Two Vietnam veterans, joined by a historian, filed suit to block a planned 250-foot arch between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, arguing the project was rushed, lacks proper congressional authorization, and would disrupt the Lincoln-Lee sightline; they say opposing the arch is a form of loyalty to the country. The Justice Department moved to dismiss the case for lack of standing, officials say Congress already authorized the plan, the U.S. Commission for Fine Arts approved the arch, and a federal judge denied a temporary halt to construction.
