‘Say Their Names’

Families Of Afghan 13 Demand Respect From Biden

  • Exactly one year ago, 13 families who had brothers, sisters, daughters, and sons in Afghanistan helping evacuate more than 120,000 at-risk Afghan allies became Gold Star families — their deaths representing the final U.S. service members killed in the military’s 20 years in Afghanistan.

They also highlighted newfound ways to honor and promote the legacies of their loved ones, who died helping desperate Afghans flee the repressive return of Taliban rule.
