On Aug. 26, 2021, 13 American service members were killed as they helped to evacuate American citizens and at-risk Afghans from the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. On the second anniversary of the bombing, former President Donald Trump spent four hours with the parents of the victims, who are still grieving and still angry over President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal that led to the deaths of their children.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) was also in attendance. It was Mr. Waltz who contacted Mr. Trump and asked if he would meet and spend time with the parents.
