The families of the six US Army Reserve soldiers who were killed this week in Kuwait watched as their loved ones were brought home during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Saturday.

President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Vice President JD Vance joined top military officials observing the solemn event on an overcast afternoon.

The military identified the six service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait on March 1 as Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens and Sgt. Declan Coady. Marzan is believed to have been killed in the strike, but is still awaiting final positive identification by a medical examiner.

As the transfer cases were taken from a C-17 across the tarmac at Dover Air Force Base, Trump saluted while wearing a white ball cap with gold “USA” lettering.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine, Attorney General Pam Bondi, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and governors and senators from the soldiers’ home states were among those in attendance.

It’s a very sad day,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One after the transfer. He said that the parents of the service members “were so proud” and that such deaths are “always a very sad thing.”

All six soldiers were assigned with the 103rd Sustainment Command, an Army Reserve unit out of Iowa. They were serving in the Middle East with the 1st Theater Sustainment Command, which oversees the supplying US forces throughout the Middle East.

Brig. Gen. Clint Barnes, the deputy commanding general of 1st Theater Sustainment Command, said this week that the soldiers served “relentlessly, consistently, and fearlessly.”

“They were the ultimate ambassadors for freedom,” Barnes said. “They represent the best of what our country stands for. May God grant their families peace and comfort in their memories. We will never forget them.”

Four of the six soldiers identified had served in the military for roughly two decades, while the youngest had just enlisted in 2023. Several of them had deployed together to Kuwait with the same unit previously, a former senior leader within the 103rd Sustainment Command told CNN.

Those guys just died for nothing. There boss trump think Iran is like Venezuela, where the US spent billions of dollars bribing the corrupt Venezuelan Army.

Any principle not founded on Truth and justice, will surely fall.

I thought the propaganda merchants and liars here sa8d that iran killed 2,000 US soldiers. Abi USA threw away the remaining 1,994?

It's so disheartening.
If Trump is serious about this war,he should send his children to join the US army at the warfront instead of sending other people's children to die for his lost cause.

More to come.

Even DJT went to pay them tribute.

See how they respect people who have served America.

Over here, their dead bodies are thrown to the back of a truck like garbage.
No proper burials talkless of the president attending them.

We watch videos but don't learn a thing.

You made a valid point to honor the dead.

But the greatest honor is dying for the right course.

Pray you don't get catch up in a war, the innocent that were killed who honors them.
