The last to die at the hands of terrorists in afghanistan in this war. That happened when a suicide bomber took their lives at an airport checkpoint. Congressman michael waltz, pete hegseth and dave sears have all served in afghanistan. They re standing by as we await the president, which we re moments away from waiting for an update on when that will happen. Let s check in with peter doocy who is live outside the white house.
