Four years have passed since one of the darkest moments in recent American history—the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul that claimed the lives of 13 brave U.S. service members and left many others wounded. On August 26, 2021, the world watched in horror as chaos consumed the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen young patriots—Marines, a Sailor, and a Soldier—gave their lives protecting others amid the collapse.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
This week, President Donald Trump proclaimed August 26, 2025, as a solemn day of commemoration for those fallen heroes. Surrounded by grieving Gold Star families, he declared that America must never forget their sacrifice nor allow such a betrayal of our troops and allies to occur again. He promised that their memory will live on forever, etched not only in history but in the conscience of a grateful nation.
The proclamation also underscored a painful truth: leadership decisions matter. The contrast between solemn remembrance and the shame of leaders who turned away—symbolized by President Biden glancing at his watch as flag-draped coffins returned home—will remain a scar in our national memory. Yet in honoring the 13, we are reminded that sacrifice and honor are stronger than failure and betrayal.
For Christians, days like this call us back to the eternal perspective. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). The courage of these 13 men and women reflects that truth in the most profound way. Their sacrifice points us to the reality that freedom is never free.
As we remember the Abbey Gate heroes, we also lift up their families, who continue to carry the weight of grief and pride. We pray for God’s comfort to surround them and for His justice to prevail in our nation’s military and political leadership. May this day stir in all of us a renewed resolve—not only to honor the fallen, but to demand truth, accountability, and righteous leadership in America.

Merciful Father,
We repent for what was done in Afghanistan by or Government. Lord, Thank You for our courageous Military who paid the ultimate sacrifice while trying to help the Afghani people. Lord thank you for seeing and loving every grieving family that has been affected. May their loved ones be remembered and honored for their service! Lord, forgive us! Many of us can look back at how our Servicemen and Women who served in Vietnam were scorned and neglected. Help us to remember!
Service should never be based on cultural trends, or Societal approval because it is shouldered on the backs of willing people, mostly young, who believe this Nation is worth serving, whether the cause was/is “thought” to be right or worthy. Thankyou for this Administration’s acknowledgement of the Sacrifice paid by our men and women in uniform! Thankyou for every person who has been willing to Go, to Serve anywhere and at all times. It is a Debt that cannot be repaid.
