Some family members of the 13 fallen U.S. service members lashed out at President Joe Biden during the Sunday dignified transfer of their remains, a Tuesday report details.
Mark Schmitz, the father of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, told The Washington Post that a sister of a fallen troop yelled at the president after receiving the remains on Sunday: ‘I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!’
‘I can’t fault her for it,’ Schmitz told the Post. ‘We all lost somebody.’
Schmitz said that he showed a picture of his son to Biden and told the president: ‘Don’t you ever forget that name. Don’t you ever forget that face. Don’t you ever forget the names of the other 12. And take some time to learn their stories.’
He recalled that Biden didn’t seem to like those comments.
