Gold star families of fallen soldiers in Afghanistan slam Biden for not saying their kids' names

Some of the Gold Star family members of the fallen 13 soldiers in Afghanistan gave an emotional tribute at the Republican National Convention, saying that President Joe Biden never said the names of their kids out loud.

"When Hunter and the other service members' bodies were returned to the U.S. ... Joe Biden met the plane," fallen Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez's father Herman Lopez said. "But he made the occasion more about his son lost to cancer than our sons and daughters lost on his watch.

"Worse than that, he hasn't said their names out loud," he continued. "And during last month's debate, he claimed no service members died during his administration."

The United States withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, resulting in the Taliban retaking the country and 13 United States soldiers dying.

Fallen soldier Sgt. Nicole Gee's aunt, Cheryl Jules, also spoke at the convention, saying that while Biden may have forgotten the deaths of the fallen 13, they have not. 

She went on to praise former President Donald Trump, saying he has not forgotten the soldiers, saying "Donald Trump loves this country and will never forget the sacrifice and bravery of our service members. Join us in putting him back in the White House."

At one point, chants broke out among the audience of "Never forget."  The crowd also chanted the names of all 13 servicemembers killed in the withdrawal.
