"These are HEROES, that pay the ultimate price."
"We take for granted, that our military is so effective — but the mission they carry out is very, very dangerous. And so we lost people in Jordan after there was a strike. A missile got through, we shot down almost all the missiles one made it through, hit the wrong place."
"It's heartbreaking and our hearts go out to these families."
"We also lost the service member in Iraq unrelated to combat they were e decommissioning a munition and an accident happened in that process — and they were harmed."
"Our military all over the world, especially in that part of the world, but all over the world, every single day, do very dangerous things."
"We've had people who lost their lives in training missions. Nothing the military does is safe — it's all inherently dangerous, and we're just grateful to have such heroic Americans in uniform in the service of our country."
"We're praying for their families and praying for their souls and we are grateful that we have people like that serving us — both those who we have lost and those who at this very moment are on the watch and defending our interests around the world."
