President Biden Honors Fallen Service Members at National Prayer Breakfast
President Joe Biden paid tribute to the three brave U.S. service members who tragically lost their lives in Jordan during the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. In a heartfelt speech, he expressed his deep gratitude for their sacrifice and the sacrifices of the wounded soldiers.
Biden personally spoke with each of the families affected by this devastating loss, assuring them that he and First Lady Jill Biden would be present at Dover Air Force Base to receive the dignified transfer of their loved ones’ bodies. This solemn ceremony will take place on Friday, as requested by the families.
Remembering the Fallen Heroes
The fallen service members have been identified as Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett. These brave individuals were tragically killed in a drone strike that targeted a U.S. military base in Jordan known as Tower 22.
The dignified transfer is a sacred process that ensures the fallen heroes are respectfully returned to the United States. Their bodies will be transported from the aircraft to a waiting transfer vehicle, which will then take them to a mortuary for identification and preparations for their final resting place.
Prayers for Peace and Healing
During the prayer breakfast, held at Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, President Biden also addressed the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. He acknowledged the pain and suffering experienced by both sides and expressed his commitment to working towards peace and security for the Israeli and Palestinian people.
Biden emphasized the importance of finding a resolution to the crisis, bringing the hostages home, and alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He reiterated his dedication to achieving an enduring peace with two states for two peoples.
The president’s visit to the Detroit area later today will be followed by his return to his home state of Delaware tomorrow evening.
