are horrified and heart-broken by the terrorist attacks that occurred in Kabul,
Afghanistan on August 26th, which took the lives of 13 United States
service members and injured dozens more.
We
think about the brave men and women serving at home and abroad every day, but
especially today as we mourn those who have made the ultimate sacrifice as they
fought to help and protect those trying to flee from Kabul.
Our
thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the 13 service
members who lost their lives and all of the victims who were injured, and we
vow to never forget their service and sacrifice.”
