On the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance paid tribute to the 13 American service members who tragically lost their lives in the 2021 suicide attack outside the Kabul airport. Vance expressed his condolences and honored their memories, emphasizing that they should be remembered and their souls rested in peace.
Vance has been vocal in his criticism of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris regarding the handling of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. He condemned the withdrawal as botched and disgraceful, attributing the loss of the 13 service members to what he described as a catastrophic mistake and a failure of leadership.
Former President Donald Trump also participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia to pay his respects to the fallen service members. The ceremony was a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve in the military.
Vance's remarks and Trump's participation in the ceremony underscore the ongoing impact of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the importance of honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. The memory of the 13 service members will continue to be honored and remembered by those who recognize their bravery and dedication.
