The parents of a Marine who lost his life in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan demanded answers from the Biden administration on Monday, following heart-wrenching testimony about their son’s final moments and the lack of information they’ve been given as they try to process his death.
Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover was 31 when he was among the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed in a suicide bomb attack outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul’s airport during the military’s evacuation from Afghanistan in August 2021.
As the two-year mark since the controversial withdrawal approaches, Taylor’s parents, Darin Hoover and Kelly Barnett, are speaking out with the hopes of obtaining more information about the events that led to their only son’s death.
