The 13 U.S. service personnel killed during a suicide bombing at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport on Thursday represent a cross-section of Americans, all with compelling stories.
The remains of the 13 US troops killed in an ISIS-K suicide blast are currently the Dover Air Force Base for dignified transfer, according to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon declined to confirm whether President Joe Biden would attend the dignified transfer at the base in Delaware, his home state, which is the domestic intake point for US military fatalities abroad.
Here’s the photo that was taken at the Kabul airport:
There was nothing on the schedule of President Biden:
But once critics started pouring in they abruptly changed their schedule and decided to embark on a “solemn journey” on Sunday to honor and mourn the 13 U.S. troops killed in the suicide attack.
They departed an overcast Washington D.C. on Sunday morning, both wearing black, as they prepare to meet with the families of the fallen troops before receiving the remains.

In a statement on Saturday, Biden said: ‘The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others.’
‘Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far. May God protect our troops and all those standing watch in these dangerous days,’
Allegedly the White House banned reporters from the meeting and Jil And Joe were photographed as they landed in Dover Air Force Base:
They wanted to meet privately with the families of those killed and then attend the “dignified transfer” of the fallen troops.
The dignified transfer of U.S. service members coffins was received at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday. The solemn ceremony was attended by President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
Video below:
Photos and videos from the meeting as well as press attendance were banned from the meeting by the White House even if that decision should be made by the families of the slain heroes!
Biden and his wife, Jill, both wearing black and with black face masks, first met far from the cameras with relatives of the dead in a special family center at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
So Biden and his administration were afraid of the reaction of the families and decide to ban the press from the special family center!
Several close family members of the fallen troops have spoken out harshly about Biden’s handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Department of Defense typically places the highest priority on the privacy and desires of the immediate family, raising questions about whether Biden would be welcome at the transfers.
But unlike our treacherous administration, the American people decided to really honor our heroes as tributes poured in honoring their sacrifice.
On Friday night Wentzville, Missouri patriots called for a demonstration on Saturday at 9 AM to show support for LCpl. Schmitz and his family. This morning HUNDREDS of patriots turned out on the Wentzville Parkway to honor Jared Schmitz.
Hundreds turned up with US flags to honor this American patriot.
Video below:
This is America and Biden can’t change that.
A video with a tribute to our fallen heroes:
Killed on Thursday were Navy corpsman Max Soviak, Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Knauss, and Marines Hunter Lopez, Rylee McCollum, David Lee Espinoza, Kareem Nikoui, Jared Schmitz, Daegan Page, Taylor Hoover, Humberto Sanchez, Johanny Rosario, Dylan Merola and Nicole Gee.
Rest in Peace, Patriots.

He checked it twice. The last time lowering his arm from a salute as the mortuary vans drove away.
Fox reported that 2 of the families wanted to receive their loved ones privately.
It’s an embarrassment to biden and the dems (that includes the media). Yet they danced a jig when Floyd was killed because they were able to make political points over it.
They are despicable. I have no respect for any democrat.

You can give Joe more credit when the Taliban are rampaging in our streets. Don’t think that they will rest on their laurels in Afghanistan after having defeated the US with the help of the US president. They are already planning the attack on our homeland.
Maybe an Apple iWatch thing—I was thing the same thing.
Wow. Does anyone know if that has ever happened before?
And the CIC doesn’t know that HE is supposed to salute!?!?!?
The unexpected attack. Who could possibly have forseen it?
“Osama bin Laden once warned al Qaeda not to target Joe Biden because he believed that his inheriting the presidency if something were to happen to Barack Obama would “lead the US into a crisis,” a resurfaced letter shows.
In the letter dated May 2010, the al Qaeda 9/11 mastermind wrote he had no assassination plots against Biden because he deemed him “totally unprepared” to lead the United States.”

“I’m assuming Biden wears an ear piece most of the time to get instructions on what to do and say.”
*******************************************************************
To a near certainty, he does. I noticed that at his last press conference when he would respond to a rare “non-scripted” question he would respond using a few words, go silent (as if he was listening for words to say) for a short period, say a few more words followed by more silence, say a few more words followed by more silence… and on-and-on repeatedly.
These attacks are coming because the enemy knows of weak and ineffective leadership st home. We can expect Biden to act in the same manner in the US the way he acted in Kabul. He will abandon citizens in the homeland the way he abandoned them abroad.
