"Every person on that aircraft carried a weight most Americans will never see, and they carried it with professionalism, courage, and a level of quiet excellence that deserves to be recognized."
"All six crew members of a KC-135 Air Force refueling aircraft were killed last week in a plane crash over friendly territory in western Iraq while supporting operations against Iran. They were from Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Washington state."
President Trump paid respects at Dover Air Force Base for six U.S. service members killed in a KC-135 refueling aircraft crash over friendly territory in western Iraq. The dignified transfer ceremony, which Trump described as the toughest duty as commander in chief, was attended by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and military leadership. All six crew members were killed while supporting operations against Iran. The crash brought the U.S. death toll in Operation Epic Fury to at least 13 service members, with approximately 200 injured. The ceremony was closed to media at families' request, and Trump spent under two hours at the base.
