President Trump on Wednesday witnessed and participated in the dignified transfer of the two National Guard troops and the Iraqi interpreter who were killed during an ambush in Syria on Saturday.
The Gateway Pundit reported that multiple American service members were injured during the attack, and two soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed.
The deceased Soldiers were identified as Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, 29, of Marshalltown, Iowa, and Sgt. Edgar Brian Torrestovar, 25, of Grimes, Iowa. The interpreter was Iraqi national Ayad Sakat, who immigrated to the US in 2007 after working with the US Army.
Both were members of the 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment.
Trump told reporters following the ceremony that the families of the three fallen were “devastated” and described the two troops and the interpreter as “great people.”
While witnessing the transfer of all three caskets, President Trump stood at attention next to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, saluting the fallen heroes, a stark contrast from one of Biden’s most infamous moments.
It can be recalled that while witnessing the transfer of the 13 American heroes that he allowed to be slaughtered at Kabul Airport, following the failed 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden checked his watch while looking utterly pathetic, hiding behind his face mask. He further did not salute the fallen heroes, instead placing his hand over his heart in a disgusting display of weakness.
