During an Oval Office event marking the fourth anniversary of the attack, Trump signed a proclamation commemorating their sacrifice. He expressed sympathy and respect for the families,emphasizing that their loved ones&#8217; deaths were undeserved and should never have happened.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President J.D. Vance,a Marine Corps veteran,also participated,calling the proclamation a needed acknowledgment that previous administrations,particularly under President Joe Biden,failed to properly recognize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-reporter-breaks-down-on-live-tv-while-describing-israeli-families-losses\/\" title=\"Fox News reporter breaks down on live TV while discussing Israeli ...&#039; tragic losses.\">families&#8217; loss<\/a>. The article contrasts Trump&#8217;s gesture with Biden&#8217;s criticized handling of the tragedy, noting biden&#8217;s lack of personal outreach to the families and an incident where he was seen checking his watch during a dignified transfer ceremony, which Gold Star relatives considered disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >article highlights statements<\/a> from Gold Star families expressing disappointment with Biden, including complaints that he focused more on his late son Beau Biden than on their own losses during meetings. This coverage underscores the political tension surrounding the handling of the Abbey Gate attack&#8217;s aftermath and the recognition of the soldiers&#8217; sacrifice.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump righted a wrong Monday by honoring the Gold Star families of the 13 soldiers killed during the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, in &nbsp;August 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In an Oval Office event, Trump signed a proclamation to mark the fourth anniversary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gold-star-families-step-arlington-officials-point-finger-trump-campaign-incident-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bombing<\/a>, which happened Aug. 26, 2021, after President Joe Biden ordered a precipitous and what turned out to be disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Before signing the proclamation, Trump told the families of the slain standing behind him, &ldquo;There are some great souls that are looking down on you right now, and they&rsquo;re very proud of their parents, and brothers, and sisters.

Especially moms and dads-that&#8217;s what I mostly dealt with.
