The President shared on Truth Social, “I will be going to Dover Air Force Base tomorrow, with the First Lady and Members of my Cabinet, to pay our Highest Respect to our Great Warriors, who are returning home for the last time. GOD BLESS THEM ALL! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The dignified transfer is a deeply somber and solemn process where flag-draped transfer cases are carried from the aircraft by service members to a waiting vehicle for transport to the mortuary affairs facility, honoring the fallen.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the 4 deaths of Army Reserve Soldiers serving in Kuwait.
The heroes died on March 1, 2026, in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, during an unmanned aircraft system attack.
“All Soldiers were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, Des Moines, Iowa. The incident is under investigation,” the Pentagon said at the time.
The Department of War identified them as:
- Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida
- Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska
- Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota
- Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, lowa
On Wednesday, the Department of War also announced the identities of two additional casualties.
- Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, 45, of Indianola/Waukee, Iowa
- Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California
Watch :
In 2023, Joe Biden attended the dignified transfer of 13 US servicemembers killed in a suicide bomb blast in Kabul in the aftermath of his botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
During the process, Biden appeared unmoved by the tragedy and blatantly checked his watch.
Flashback to August, 2021.
Exactly when CNN is talking about how difficult it must be for Biden to watch the dignified transfer of our fallen soldiers, Biden checks his watch. pic.twitter.com/3R53ak7yEd
