President Donald Trump attended the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday for four U.S. service members killed in the Middle East, saluting as flag-draped transfer cases were escorted off the aircraft. The Defense Department identified two soldiers killed in Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas; the remains of Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, believed to be the soldier missing after the Jordan attacks, were also returned. The fourth service member was killed in Iraq during a detonation of an Iranian drone. Trump said en route that "Iran is gonna pay a big price" and called the ritual "one of the hardest things to do as a president," adding to grieving families, "We love you. We love your child." He met privately with the families and attended the transfer alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Gen. Dan Caine, Sen. Thom Tillis, and Sen. Chris Coons. The transfer cases were moved to awaiting vehicles that took the remains to the base mortuary for preparation for final resting places.
