These were kids serving their country in Afghanistan. On Aug. 26, 2021, parents and relatives of these kids had a white van pull up to their homes. Two marines knocked on their doors. Those marines had the heartbreaking job of telling these families that their kids would not be coming home. Why? Because of the incompetent leadership of an administration orchestrating the Afghanistan withdrawal. These deaths were needless. Biden and Harris let down these 13 kids. They let down the 45 who were wounded. They let down 174 civilians. Not only that, this administration left billions of dollars of our military hardware for our enemies. Just left them.

The foreign policy of this administration is an abomination. An endless war in Ukraine. Open borders letting in millions of unvetted people. The ramifications from these decisions have been devastating to say the least.

Register. Vote.

Remind your neighbors to register and vote.

And say thank you to those who give up so much of themselves to serve.
