Gold Star families who lost loved ones during the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan endorsed Pete Hegseth to be the next Secretary of Defense.
The Abbey Gate Coalition, a group of the parents and families of those who tragically lost their lives in a terrorist attack after President Biden withdrew troops from Afghanistan, penned a letter to senators on Tuesday urging them to confirm President-elect Trump's defense nominee and doubling down on their criticism of the current administration's handling of the deadly event.
