Trump will join grieving families for return of soldiers killed in war in West Asia
The dignified transfer, a ritual that returns the remains of U.S. service members killed in action, is considered one of the most sombre duties of any commander in chief. During his first term, Mr. Trump said bearing witness to the transfer was “the toughest thing I have to do” as President.
On his social media platform Friday night, Mr. Trump wrote, “I will be going to Dover Air Force Base tomorrow, with the First Lady and Members of my Cabinet, to pay our Highest Respect to our Great Warriors, who are returning home for the last time. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!” Those killed in action were Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California; Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Indianola, Iowa; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, lowa, who was posthumously promoted from specialist.
