In August 2021 the United States withdrew their troops from Afghanistan, which resulted in the Taliban retaking control of the country and the deaths of 13 United States soldiers.
Fallen soldier Sgt. Cheryl Jules’ aunt Nicole Gee also spoke at this convention and said that although Biden may not have forgotten about the 13 fallen soldiers, they had not.
She continued to praise the former president Donald Trump by saying that he had not forgotten about the soldiers. “Donald Trump will never forget our sacrifices and the bravery of the servicemen and women.” Join us to put him back in the White House.”
A chant of “Never Forget” was heard at one point. The crowd also chanted all the names of the 13 servicemembers who were killed during the withdrawal.
