Donald Trump claims parents of 6 killed in Iran war had request

Trump recently attended a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, where the remains of American troops killed overseas are returned to the United States.

The six soldiers died on March 1 after an unmanned aerial attack reportedly penetrated air defenses and struck a command center in Port Shuaiba.

The service members were identified as:

Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54

Major Jeffrey R. O’Brien, 45

Captain Cody Khork, 35

Sergeant Noah Tietjens, 42

Sergeant Nicole Amor, 39

Sergeant Declan Coady, 20

Another American soldier, Army Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, was later reported killed during the same conflict.

In a public statement, Daniel Driscoll honored the sacrifice made by the fallen troops.

“These men and women bravely volunteered to serve and defend our country, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.”

Families share a powerful message

After meeting with the families of the fallen soldiers, Trump told reporters that the experience was deeply moving.

He explained that many relatives shared a similar message with him during the ceremony.

“When you have conflicts like this, there is always loss. I was at Dover yesterday, meeting the parents. They were incredible people.”

Trump then revealed the request he said each family made.

“They all had one thing in common. Every single one said to me: ‘Finish the job, sir. Please finish the job.’”
