That alone should get him fired. Forgetting about your soldiers! unacceptable!!!!

[nelinevandyke]

Thank you Mr Johnson for acknowledging and remembering these brave hero’s defending our country.

[ddrogue]

On behalf of the families of the 13 military members that lost their lives, thank you for honoring them.

[michellelucas]

My sympathies to all these Families! As a mom who has last two sons, you never want them to be forgotten. I can’t imagine how these families feel that their sons/ daughters fought for our country and the President doesn’t acknowledge that loss! I am truly sorry! Thank you for your sacrifices so we can continue to have our freedom!

Unfit to stand trial, unfit to hold office.

[carolchanner]

I hit the roof when he told that enormous LIE!

[Kat]

Thank you, Speaker Johnson, for correcting the record. When he said no troops were lost under his watch, it was so hurtful and insulting! May we never forget!❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸

[cjanvier]

That's because those 13 were not important to him. Thanks to the Speaker for calling their names outloud. They deserve honor and respect. They do not deserve being forgotten.

2 Biggest US embarrassments on the world stage, the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Biden in the presidential debate.

Thank you Speaker Johnson for naming our brave soldiers whose lives were cut short and whose memory will forever remain in our hearts ❤️ 🙌

[vincentaguilar]

Thanks to the service members and their families. Your soldiers gave those lives fighting for us and I am forever grateful.

[jmerced]

Just imagine being a family member of one of those soldiers. Absolutely despicable.

[catherinepierce]

Acknowledging the fallen soldiers is to honor their service. Thank you.

[MariaRodriguez-zswd]

May those Military Men who gave their lives never be forgotten

[chitownmountain]

Maybe he was too busy checking his watch!!!! To remember the flag covered coffins that were walked past him. Right in front of him!
