AI Summary
This joint resolution honors the 13 U.S. service members who lost their lives during a tragic 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 recognizes these service members, representing various branches of the military including the Marine Corps, Army, and Navy, as embodying the best of the United States and acknowledging their heroic actions in saving thousands of innocent lives from potential Taliban oppression. By formally resolving to designate a National Day of Remembrance, the resolution seeks to express the nation's deepest condolences to the Gold Star Families (families of fallen service members) and ensure that these service members' honorable and faithful service is never forgotten. The resolution emphasizes that their ultimate sacrifice was not made in vain and that their commitment to liberty represents the highest ideals of American military service.
