Darin Hoover Sr., father of fallen soldier Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., expressed his disappointment in Biden for not reaching out or providing explanations for the devastating loss of American lives in Afghanistan. It is important to remember and honor the brave men and women who sacrificed for our freedoms, especially during Memorial Day weekend.
Hoover emphasized the need for accountability from the Biden administration and urged them to address the unanswered questions surrounding the Afghanistan withdrawal.

The tragic events at Kabul airport, including the deaths of 13 American service members and numerous Afghan civilians, highlighted the incompetence of the Biden administration in handling the withdrawal. Families of the fallen soldiers, like Darin Hoover Sr., are still seeking justice and closure for their loss. Biden’s lack of empathy and respect during ceremonies honoring the Kabul victims has added to the pain felt by Gold Star families.
It is clear that Biden’s priorities are misplaced, as he shows more concern for meeting with certain individuals than honoring the sacrifices of American servicemen and women. Biden's disregard for the military and their families is unacceptable to a commander-in-chief. The American people deserve better leadership that respects and values the sacrifices made by our military members.
As we commemorate Memorial Day and remember the heroes who gave their lives for our country, it is essential to hold our leaders accountable for their actions. The betrayal of the U.S. military and Afghan allies in Afghanistan should not be forgotten, and those responsible must be held to task. It is a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by our military members and the duty we owe them to honor their memory and fight for justice.
