More of their background stories are featured at the link.
According the the sewage in the national “media”, millions of Americans died during “epic fury”. Their Iranian, pork chop chomping butt butties told them so.
Thank you for posting this.. Thank them most of all, and remember them and all the others who didn’t make it out of the uniform.
We were at a Memorial service today. One of the things they did was to honor theses service members.
May these brave patriots rest in heavenly peace.
Well said.
Rest in peace, brothers and sisters.

The 13 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan died on August 26, 2021, in a suicide bombing at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. The attack occurred during Biden's reckless and chaotic final days of abandoning Afghanistan leaving thousands of innocent loyalists of America behind to fend for themselves.
Thank you! I am reminded that President Trump spent extensive time with some of their families, several of whom spoke on his behalf at the 2024 RNC Convention.
I trust that experiences like these, meeting with grieving loved ones, informs his decisions as Commander in Chief.
