President Donald Trump on Monday signed a proclamation commemorating the anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack during the Afghanistan withdrawal that took the lives of 13 military service members.
Trump was surrounded by Gold Star families as he signed the proclamation in the White House.
“We remember these great 13 souls, but we also remember the people that were so badly injured, our soldiers, 32 of them approximately,” he said. “We understand that it should’ve never happened, should have never been allowed to have happened.”
Vice President JD Vance, who served in the Marines, said Monday’s event was a “rectification of a wrong.”
