HEROES OF KABUL: Gold Star families blame Biden administration for deaths as they continue to grieve

This article is part of a Fox News Digital series examining the consequences of the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Several Gold Star families of the service members who died in the 2021 explosion at the Kabul airport during the Afghanistan evacuation feel the Biden administration hasn’t been held accountable after two years and are demanding answers.

An ISIS-K suicide bomber detonated an explosive in the Hamid Karzai International Airport on Aug. 26, 2021, killing 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghan citizens.

“Let the world remember: they weren’t just Marines and Army and Navy,” one Gold Star father, Jim McCollum, previously told Fox News.

“They were all young kids,” he continued. “Absolutely beautiful people.”
