It was the aftermath of President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, which resulted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-u-s-special-forces-vets-secretly-rescued-hundreds-of-afghan-allies-left-for-dead-amid-biden-withdrawal\/\" title=\"Report: U.S. Special Forces Vets \u2018Secretly Rescued\u2019 Hundreds Of Afghan Allies \u2018Left For Dead\u2019 Amid Biden Withdrawal\">deadly terrorist attack<\/a> that killed 13 American servicemen and women. Biden managed to find time to greet the bodies on their return to Dover Air Force Base in his home state of Delaware, but his demeanor made it clear to grieving survivors that he had other things on his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative attorney, commentator, and podcast host Eric Matheny shared a video on Monday that showed the president checking his watch as the remains of the military members slain in the Kabul airport bombing arrived in Dover three days later. By Tuesday morning, it had been viewed more than 28,000 times.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Remember when Joe Biden had better things to do? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LcNAcF9gLE\">pic.twitter.com\/LcNAcF9gLE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Matheny (@ericmmatheny) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericmmatheny\/status\/1663222532281868289?\">May 29, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The fact that the president was distracted even once during the solemn moment was bad enough. But, as the New York Post reported at the time, family members of the fallen said he repeated the action each time one of the 13 coffins was removed from the Air Force C-17 that had carried them home.<\/p>\n<p>Relatives of the dead were adamant while speaking to Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity that the commander in chief looked away each time one of the bodies of the service personnel who died under his command should have been the center of attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would release the salute and he looked down at his watch on every last one,\u201d Gold Star father Darin Hoover told Hannity on Aug. 30. \u201cAll 13, he looked down at his watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gold Star father Mark Schmitz, whose son, Jared, was a Marine lieutenant who was also killed in the attack, agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually leaned into my son\u2019s mother\u2019s ear and I said \u2026 \u2018if he checks his watch one more time,&#8217;\u201d Schmitz told Hannity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that was only probably four times in,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t look at him anymore after that, just considering, especially, the time and why we were there.

But Snopes did acknowledge that he did it at least twice.<\/p>\n<p>USA Today, which at first claimed in its \u201cfact check\u201d that Biden only checked his watch after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-did-joe-biden-attend-the-dignified-transfer-ceremony-at-dover-air-force-base\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Did Joe Biden Attend The Dignified Transfer Ceremony At Dover Air Force Base?\">dignified transfer ceremony<\/a>, later revised that to say the president \u201cdid check his watch at least three times\u201d during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<h3>Never Forget<\/h3>\n<p>As one conservative Twitter account put it, with an image of Biden checking his watch at another point during the Dover visit: \u201cNever forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Never Forget. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5onAHoWrZd\">pic.twitter.com\/5onAHoWrZd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Andrew @ Don\u2019t Walk, RUN!

They deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity, especially in their final moments. Biden&#8217;s behavior was not only disrespectful to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-andrew-cuomo-calls-to-remember-essential-workers-on-memorial-day-weekend\/\" title=\"Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls to remember essential workers on Memorial Day weekend\">fallen service members<\/a>, but it also sends a message to their families and the rest of the country that their sacrifice is not valued.<\/p>\n<h3>What Biden Should Have Done<\/h3>\n<p>As the commander-in-chief, Biden should have given his full attention to the ceremony honoring the fallen service members. This includes standing at attention, saluting, and showing the utmost respect for those who gave their lives for their country. Anything less is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s important for our leaders to show respect and honor to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Biden&#8217;s behavior was unacceptable and disrespectful, and he should take steps to ensure that it never happens again.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Forget This Moment<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a moment that should be etched in our memories forever. The moment when Joe Biden, the man in the Oval Office, snubbed America&#8217;s heroes on Veterans Day. The fact that he didn&#8217;t understand why he should honor them speaks volumes about his character.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;It&#8217;s a moment Americans should never forget.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; The Western Journal<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just Veterans Day.
