I saw one where they parked their patrol cars in a heart shape with lights flashing. Beautiful sight to see with all who want to honor these sacrificed fallen soldiers. . . Our Government knew along with the military on who this suicide bomber was and looked like. They even had them "in sight" with a target, BUT did nothing!! American"s should be pissed!! I know the families are. Biden tried to go visit the ones wounded and I know at least one would not let him visit his son. Do have to wonder how many others wouldn't since we haven't seen any pictures yet.

US Navy IDs 5 Killed in Helicopter Crash Off California
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/navy-helicopter-crash/2021/09/05/id/1035148/
The U.S. Navy on Sunday identified five sailors who died when a helicopter crashed in the Pacific Ocean off of Southern California.
They were:
Lt. Bradley A. Foster, 29, a pilot from Oakhurst, California;
Lt. Paul R. Fridley, 28, a pilot from Annandale, Virginia;
Naval Air Crewman (Helicopter) 2nd Class James P. Buriak, 31, from Salem, Virginia;
Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Sarah F. Burns, 31, from Severna Park, Maryland
Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Bailey J. Tucker, 21, from St. Louis, Missouri.
The MH-60S crashed on Aug. 31 about 70 miles (112 kilometers) off San Diego during what the Navy described as routine flight operations. It was operating from the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.
One sailor was rescued after the crash. Five sailors aboard the aircraft carrier were injured but were said to be in stable condition.
The Navy declared the sailors dead on Saturday following days of search-and-rescue efforts and switched to recovering their bodies.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
The MH-60S helicopter typically carries a crew of about four and is used in missions including combat support, humanitarian disaster relief and search and rescue.
The aircraft belongs to the Navy’s Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8.

Yeah, tanks use big guns and they are tough but they don't fly.
The offspring of the B-52 and an Abrams was cute until it grew up:

After watching the A10s destroy all the tanks in the Gulf War I don't think I would want to be a tanker.
Here is what they were shooting at... T-72's, maybe a couple of T-64's
