Operation Hawkeye Strike: Trump and Hegseth Retaliate Swiftly After Deadly ISIS Ambush
Just earlier this week, President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth were present at Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer of three Americans whose lives were taken away by tragedy way too early: Sgt. William Howard and Sgt. Edgar Torres Tovar from the Iowa National Guard, plus interpreter Ayad Mansoor Sakat.
The three were killed in Palmyra, Syria, when a single ISIS gunman attacked them while they were providing support to a crucial leader.
Additionally, three other soldiers from the Iowa National Guard sustained injuries during the incident.
