FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2009, file photo President Barack Obama, right, salutes as an Army carry team carries the transfer case containing the remains of Sgt. Dale R. Griffin of Terre Haute, Ind., during a casualty return at Dover Air Force Base, Del. President Donald Trump is claiming his predecessors did not sufficiently honor the nation’s fallen. His accusation that most presidents did not call families of military personnel is provoking a heated response. Obama, for one, visited the air base that often receives the remains of the dead. He wrote letters to military families, too. Obama’s office says Trump is “unequivocally wrong.”(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)
