Trump went to Arlington National Cemetery today to honor the 13 soldiers who lost their lives at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan on three years ago today on August 26th 2021. Trump along with family members of the fallen, and Tulsi Gabbard, laid wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for each of the 13 who lost their lives.
Biden was nowhere to be found and it was reported that he was at the beach and Kommie-la was nowhere to be found either. Biden’s social media account on X did not say anything about this anniversary of his making the biggest military failure in American history next to what happened in Saigon.
There are a lot of reports that say that the families were so upset with Biden and Kommie-la that they did not invite them, they invited Trump.
Here are some beautiful scenes from this morning’s ceremonies.

It was reported that about 170 other people trying to flee Afghanistan who were at that gate were also killed in the explosion.
Trump also paid his respects to each of the soldiers who were buried at the cemetery and left flowers at their graves. Makes me want to cry watching this footage from Dan Scavino Jr. You can hear Trump saying to the soldier who is buried there that they will never be forgotten.
