AI Summary
This resolution honors 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a bombing at Abbey Gate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 26, 2021, during the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country. The resolution acknowledges these service members as representing the best of the United States, highlighting their actions in saving thousands of innocent lives from Taliban tyranny and securing liberty for both the United States and Afghanistan. By formally resolving three key actions, the document (1) establishes a National Day of Remembrance specifically for these service members, (2) expresses deep condolences and gratitude to their Gold Star Families (a term referring to families who have lost a service member in military conflict), and (3) commemorates their honorable and faithful service to the nation. The resolution emphasizes that their ultimate sacrifice was not made in vain and that their service will be remembered as long as the nation exists.
