The American service members who gave their lives were heroes. Heroes who have been engaged in a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others. We have a continuing obligation — a sacred obligation — to their families that will last forever.

白宫 — 在星期四发生的喀布尔恐怖攻击爆炸案当中丧生的13名美军遗体,周日送回美国,拜登总统与第一夫人亲自前往迎接。与此同时,在阿富汗的美军持续进行撤离任务,同时打击发动恐怖攻击的伊斯兰国呼罗珊分子。
拜登总统8月29号星期天上午前往特拉华州的空军基地(Dover Air Force Base),迎接在喀布尔恐怖攻击当中丧生的13名美军遗体。他下午回到华盛顿,直接到联邦紧急事务管理署(FEMA)视察政府对刚刚登陆美国本土路易西安那州的四级飓风爱达(Hurricane Ida)的准备情况。
拜登在致词时先提到了在阿富汗的阵亡将士:“吉尔和我刚从我们家乡州的多佛空军基地回来,我们在那里和13名在阿富汗牺牲英雄的家属会面,他们为国捐躯。在我们为路易斯安纳州祈祷平安的同时,也为他们祈祷。”
一同去迎接遗体的还有国防部长奥斯丁与多位军方高官,包括布林肯国务卿等其他官员则在一旁观礼。
与此同时,美军持续进行打击伊斯兰国的行动。上周四发生恐怖攻击之后,拜登总统说他要追猎伊斯兰国分子,并且要他们付出代价,之后美军28号空袭,杀死一名涉案的伊斯兰国成员。美国中央指挥部发言人尔本(Bill Urban)星期天宣布美军在喀布尔进行了第二次无人机攻击任务,消灭了伊斯兰国呼罗珊ISIS-K对卡尔扎伊机场的立即威胁。
