On August 26, 2021, at a little before 6:00pm local time, a blast from a suicide bomb outside Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan, killed at least 182 people, including 169 Afghan civilians and 13 members of the United States military. In honor of Veterans Day, Gold Star families of three fallen service members share heartfelt reflections on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and express renewed hope under President Donald Trump’s leadership. |
