COSTELLO: Just minutes from now at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. It's one of the more iconic traditions on this Memorial Day. Let's check in with senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta with more. President will be speaking and so will the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey and also Ash Carter, the defense secretary -- correct?</s>JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: I believe that's right -- Carol. And keep in mind this is something that the President is going to be focused on all day today. He started the morning over here at the White House meeting with and having breakfast with organizations that help families of fallen soldiers. And the President as you'll see here in a few minutes will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown and then deliver remarks. And Carol, you know, the White House is not really telling us that the President is going to be making a whole lot of news with this speech. But he is going to be paying tribute to the generations of lives that have been lost and sacrificed for this country and the speech comes, you know, really at a critical time as this country is trying to figure out once again what to do about Iraq. This forever war that seems to have been going on since President George H.W. Bush and went right into the Clinton administration, George W. Bush's administration and President Obama thought he wrapped up this war in Iraq and now he's faced with this prospect once again, recommendations here in Washington of sending more troops into Iraq. And it's going to be a tough call for this president and something for this country to think a lot about. But all of that can be set aside I think as this country remembers people who have made this ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their country. We'll see the President here marking that in just a few moments.</s>COSTELLO: We will. And thank you, Jim Acosta. Thank you for joining me today. I'm Carol Costello. "AT THIS HOUR" with Berman and Bolduan starts now.
