I had planned to write a short post about the third anniversary of the outrage at Abbey Gate, Kabul Airport, but no words of mine or anyone else’s would come close to the video linked below of the statements made by the families of our lost service members. (Sorry, could only get the video address.)

I will note briefly, however, that President Trump honored them yesterday by placing a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Biden was (still) on vacation. Harris had nothing on her schedule. Neither has ever mentioned their names. Ever.

Res ipsa loquitur.

May God rest their souls and may light perpetually shine upon them.

    Thanks for remembering Jim. Nice simple tribute. This tragedy shouldn't have happened.

    ...Kamala Harris claiming that she was the last person in the room.

    The blood of these soldiers is on her hands as well. The last thing she wants is something on her schedule. She might get asked about it.

    This topic would make a great interview question if a real journalist is willing to ask it.

    Just tried it; worked for me. If anyone knows how to copy Twitter videos I sure would like to learn how. I have learned that unless I can find a video on You Tube it’s impossible to copy out the video into a post. Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the reminder, Jim. A sorry chapter in our country's history.
