"These soldiers engaged in the most noble mission: protecting their fellow Americans and keeping our homeland secure. Our nation owes them an incredible debt of gratitude that can never be repaid."
"The dignified transfer, a ritual that returns the remains of U.S. service members killed in action, is considered one of the most somber duties of any commander in chief. During his first term, Trump said bearing witness to the transfer was 'the toughest thing I have to do' as president."
President Trump traveled to Dover Air Force Base to participate in the dignified transfer ceremony for six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers killed in a drone strike at a command center in Kuwait. The fallen service members were from the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa. They died one day after the U.S. and Israel launched military operations against Iran. Trump described the dignified transfer as the most somber presidential duty and pledged to minimize American war deaths. The ceremony honors the fallen soldiers' sacrifice and their mission to protect Americans and secure the homeland.
