DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — President Donald Trump attended a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base Wednesday as six fallen U.S. service members were returned home to their loved ones. This marks the president’s second attendance at such a ceremony since military conflict with Iran commenced in late February.
The six military personnel lost their lives when their KC-135 aircraft crashed in western Iraq over territory controlled by friendly forces during ongoing operations. Family members requested that Wednesday’s ceremony remain private, with no media present, following standard military protocol.
The ceremony consisted of a photo collection assembled by Associated Press photo editors.
