Most Families of US Troops Killed in the Iran War’s Deadliest Attack Won’t Be at White House Event
Only one family member of the six soldiers killed in the Port Shuaiba strike said they planned to attend, while others cited missing invitations and unanswered questions.
- Most families of the six soldiers killed in the Iran-war attack are skipping the annual White House reception for Gold Star families hosted by President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
- While the event honors nearly 40 fallen service members from conflicts dating to the Vietnam War, families of those killed in the March 1 Port Shuaiba attack cite short notice, lack of invitations, and emotional pain for declining.
- Libby Klinner stated she would not have attended, saying "I have no interest in supporting an administration that has been so reckless with the lives of our service members." Widow Tina Marzan reported she and her two children were not invited.
- Only one family member of those killed in the attack confirmed attendance to The Associated Press, while Joey Amor, whose 39-year-old wife was among those killed, is asking the American people to stand with these families and demand transparency.
- The Army completed its investigation into the March 1 strike in June but has not yet briefed families, citing ongoing redaction of sensitive information, leaving relatives frustrated by the lack of information from the Pentagon.
