President Donald Trump is going to Dover AFB Wednesday for a dignified transfer for the two Iowa National Guard members killed in an attack in Syria.
Both soldiers were deployed with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which is currently conducting ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region.
An Air Force squadron commander who led a history-making deployment to the Middle East was presented with the military’s third-highest combat award.
Trump announced that Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, had died, while Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was “fighting for his life.”
