Gold Star dad says Biden-Harris 'denied' son's service as fallen Afghanistan soldiers honored in California

A group of California lawmakers on Thursday will honor four of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan in August 2021.

Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more. 

The four service members being honored at the California State Capitol on Thursday were all from the Golden State.  

Essayli told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that he was moved by hearing Gold Star father Herman Lopez speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention about his son, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, who also died in the suicide bombing.
