Byron Donalds Honors U.S. Service Members Killed in 2021 Kabul Attack: ‘These Families Still Deserve Answers from the Biden Admin’

WASHINGTON (FLV) – Aug. 26 marks the one-year anniversary of the day 13 U.S. service members were killed in an attack in Kabul, Afghanistan as the Biden Administration instituted a rapid withdraw from the now Taliban-ruled country.

The attack took place shortly before the U.S.’s withdrawal.

“Today we remember the 13 brave service members that lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Kabul while protecting U.S. citizens and our allies from the Taliban,” U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-FL, said. “These families still deserve answers from the Biden Admin, and I will continue fighting till I get them.”

President Joe Biden said those who lost their lives were “heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others.”
