Arlington National Cemetery Removes Links Honoring Diverse Veterans

Website changes follow Trump administration orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion in military programs.

  • Arlington National Cemetery removed links to webpages about Black, Hispanic, and female veterans, as well as Civil War history, to comply with Trump administration directives.
  • The removed materials include educational content, notable grave listings, and lesson plans covering diverse military contributions.
  • A Pentagon memo directed a 'digital content refresh' to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion across Department of Defense platforms.
  • Officials stated they are working to restore some content in alignment with federal guidelines, though no timeline has been provided.
  • Historians and veterans' groups have criticized the changes, calling them an erasure of important historical narratives and contributions.
