Remembering the 13 Fallen Heroes of Kabul
Spencer Brown / Townhall Tipsheet

Two years ago Saturday on August 26, 2021, an ISIS-K terrorist detonated a suicide bomb near the Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul just before 9:30 a.m. ET. during America's withdrawal from Afghanistan. 

Thirteen U.S. service members were killed in the attack — a tragedy President Joe Biden still avoids talking about.

While the White House has demonstrated an unwillingness to accept responsibility for the chaos of the withdrawal, let alone give recognition or respectful remembrance to the fallen, Townhall is not willing to let the names or memories of the 13 heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice fade.

Below are the names of the Kabul 13 and how they were remembered by their families, friends, and loved ones in published eulogies and memorials.

What Happened to Dems Under Obama Has Spread to the Republicans...And It's Not Good
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
 
Towards the end of the Obama presidency, he left one underreported legacy: state Democratic Parties were decimated. They were an endangered species in Appalachia. In 2016, out of the 490 counties that make up the region, Hillary Clinton only won 21 of them. These apparatuses provide parties with the candidate pools for local and statewide office. The rockstars can punch onto the federal scene if they’re competent. The lack of success from state parties that atrophied can produce embarrassing results. The New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and, up until recently, Virginia state GOP operations were classic examples of dysfunction that cost us in elections. Glenn Youngkin has led a resurrection in Virginia, but Colorado and the Keystone State especially have produced some outright abysmal candidates.
