United States Marine Hunter Lopez, 22-years-old, has been identified as one of 13 U.S. service members who was killed in Thursday’s terrorist attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.
As Breitbart News reported, the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Kabul that killed 10 U.S. Marines, one U.S. Navy medic, and another two service members, along with at least 90 others, and has left at least 150 wounded.
Lopez, from the Coachella Valley area of California, was killed in the attacks as he was stationed at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul as part of the U.S. withdrawal operation from the country.
Friends and family have flooded social media with messages of love.
Lopez’s uncle, J.C. Lopez, wrote in a post that his nephew had wanted to be a U.S. Marine since he was 11-years-old and did everything he could to make his dream a reality:
You ever receive news that just grounds you to the core. Found out late last night that my nephew Hunter was one of the marine casualties in the suicide bombing at the Kabul Airport. This kid knew since he was 11 what he wanted to do. Every free moment was spent training and perfecting his craft. Hunter, you did your job. Rest now. Until we see you again son. Love you.

>> This is an eternal loss and I pray for God’s loving comfort and peace.
Agreed, and prayers.
RIP, young man. Prayers for his family and all the families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan.
The Marines , and Army Soldiers, have a serious problem with their current C&C.
Much of their chain of command appears to suck also.
Never before has there been such a grevious problem with the way things are supposed to work ..
We have a total moron in the White House, and his 2nd is no better . Maybe worse, if that were possible
....from my reading of current events, the last thing the Democrats want or need is Kamalama Ding Dong Harris as President...yes, she probably would be worse....but, then again, no one is seriously thinking that PoS Biden would be impeached or would resign....or even have the 25th amendment invoked...right now, I think we are stuck with this demented moron as President....can the country survive another 3.5 years of this miserable administration...??
I pray that God will give his family and friends the strength and courage to take each day as it comes and know how much the rest of us honor his patriotism and loyalty.
God will take care of him.
RIP Marine. You deserved better leadership.
Our deepest condolences to family and friends.
Democrats want or need is Kamalama Ding Dong Harris as President...
****************************************************
Anyone who thinks Biden, Harris, or Pelosi are making any decisions has been living under a rock for the last several decades. Politicians are nothing more than frontmen for those in charge. We no longer live under a representative government but an authoritarian government, funded off the backs of working taxpayers. This complaining about who would be worse, Biden or Harris is meaningless and takes your eye off what is really going on
...
RIP.
When HUNTER LOPEZ gets to HEAVEN,
to SAINT PETER he will tell,
ONE MORE MARINE REPORTING SIR,
I’VE SERVED MY TIME IN HELL!
SEMPER FIDELIS MARINE!
The rest of the world may fear us, but GOD LOVES US!
Prayers before GOD for the FAMILY and LOVED ONES of this loyal, fearless, dedicated, OUTSTANDING MARINE.
