AUSTIN – Texas Governor Abbott asked Texas for prayers on Thursday after it was reported that several U.S. military members were killed in an attack at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. The disturbance occurred as the U.S. Military evacuates Americans citizens and Afghan refugees from Afghanistan.
“What we’re witnessing in Kabul right now is an absolute tragedy. Brave U.S. Marines and soldiers sacrificed everything to protect innocent lives and defend our nation’s principles of freedom and liberty for all. Their families are left grieving the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. Please join Cecilia and me in praying for these Marines and soldiers who fought through to the end, for their loved ones, and for all U.S. military members who continue to serve courageously and honorably for our country around the world.”
According to the Pentagon, 12 U.S. service members were killed and 15 were injured in the attack.
