President Donald Trump righted a wrong Monday by honoring the Gold Star families of the 13 soldiers killed during the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2021.
In an Oval Office event, Trump signed a proclamation to mark the fourth anniversary of the bombing, which happened Aug. 26, 2021, after President Joe Biden ordered a precipitous and what turned out to be disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Before signing the proclamation, Trump told the families of the slain standing behind him, “There are some great souls that are looking down on you right now, and they’re very proud of their parents, and brothers, and sisters. Moms and dads, especially. That’s what I seem to have dealt with, mostly. There’s nothing tougher.”
