On the first anniversary of the Afghan withdrawal this month, some U.S. officials and experts said there has not been public accountability for mistakes in the evacuation, which took place as the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan
"Mamma I'm safe, I love you," the 31-year-old Marine Corps staff sergeant wrote as he worked to keep some semblance of order while thousands of desperate Afghans tried to get on the last few evacuation flights.
"It just aggravates me to no end that they put them in that situation that they should not have been in," said Hoover, who is a police officer. "I just had a horrible feeling. I hate to say it, but I just knew that was the last time," Henson said. Later that night, as she was walking down to the laundry room, the doorbell rang and she knew it meant her son was among those killed.The past year has been punctuated with events around the country to remember Taylor and the other 12 troops who were killed that day, including a NASCAR race.
"It could be something as simple as a song on the radio. It could be something as simple as talking to people and ... I'll get a rush of it," he said.One of the toughest days was July 24, which would have been Taylor's 32nd birthday. Later this month, the family will mark the first anniversary of his death on Aug. 26 at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.
