  • This was incredibly powerful. When the father read the names of the 13 fallen soldiers and the audience repeated each name, it was truly heartwarming. These families deserved better.

    God bless the USA and we honor the men and women who served our country and Biden didn't respect this and some of us watching and listening to Biden felt our country had a humanity lost. Now finally the truth of these men and women who served and died come fourth by there family's. Donald trump's support s our troops and all branches of the Americas service men and women. I honor them ! Proud to be a American.

  • @WZ933
    Afghanistan also has the right to defend itself... These soldiers were fine in the country and would have been treated as such... What about the hundreds of thousands of Afghans who were killed???
