Trump Acknowledges Family of Fallen Service Member at Marietta, Ga. Rally

‘We will carry Tyler’s memory in our hearts forever and I want to thank them’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “And I just left Dover Air Force Base, which is an incredible place, but oftentimes very sad because that’s when they bring the bodies of our great heroes, our great patriots, warriors. They bring them back to Dover. And I’ve been there many times before. This was in particular something very sad. I attended the dignified transfer ceremony for four great U.S. service members killed in the conflict with Iran. As they returned to American soil at Dover, one of the families happened to be traveling to Georgia, a beautiful family. A beautiful wife and husband and brother-in-law, and I said, ‘I’m going to Georgia too. Where are you going?’ They said, ‘Well, after this, sir’ — they lost their beautiful son — ‘we’re going to Georgia.’ I said, ‘If you want, I’ll give you a ride on Air Force One, ‘ and they said, ‘Wow.’”
