Names of the 13 US service members killed in Afghanistan airport bombing: They made the 'ultimate sacrifice'
Among those killed during the attack near Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport were 11 Marines, one Navy hospital corpsman and one Army soldier, according to the Pentagon.
At least 18 other U.S. service members were injured, and at least 169 Afghans were also killed.
President Joe Biden attended the dignified transfer of the service members and commended the "bravery and sacrifice" of the U.S. military Friday, calling the 13 deaths “tragic” but saying they died for a "worthy mission."
