(FamilyConservationPAC.com) – During a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery on Monday, former President Donald Trump paid tribute to 13 American service heroes who lost their lives during the disastrous Biden Administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
As a bugler performed Taps in remembrance of those killed in the attack on the Kabul airport on August 26, 2021, Trump laid the wreath and covered his heart.

In the meantime, neither Vice President Kamala Harris nor President Joe Biden—who is vying to become the next president in November—had anything planned. Their administration was in charge of the withdrawal.
Three years ago today, 13 American heroes were killed in the Harris-Biden botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
To this day, Kamala Harris has never mentioned these fallen soldiers' names.

The 13 American service members were killed in a suicide bombing at the Abbey Gate at the Kabul International Airport.
The Biden administration had ordered the hasty and poorly thought-out evacuation of thousands of civilians from the United States and other countries because it had not anticipated the Taliban’s surprise takeover of the government, which it had been backing.
Marine LCpl. Kareem Nikoui, Navy Seaman Maxton Soviak, Marine SSgt. Darin Hoover, LCpl. Jared Schmitz, LCpl. Dylan Merola, Cpl. Humberto Sanchez, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, Army SSG. Ryan Knauss, and Marine LCpl. Nicole L. Gee is among those who lost their lives that day.
Following the event, Trump paid a visit to Knauss’s grave and made contact with his family, who were unable to attend.

In a statement published on his Truth Social account, Trump further criticized Biden and Harris for their “gross incompetence.” He declared:
“This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country. Gross Incompetence – 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS, and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND. You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done. Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World.”
He concluded his post with, “THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA REMAINS SILENT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY! MAGA2024.”
Should the Biden/Harris administration publicly apologize for never mentioning their names?
