First, Donald Trump didn’t know four U.S. soldiers were missing in Lithuania, then he couldn’t be bothered to show up for their dignified transfer arrival in the U.S. Maybe he’s forgotten that he called fallen troops “suckers” and “losers” but we have not.
Associated Press reported Thursday on the solemn proceedings in Lithuania that included a procession of the coffins of the fallen soldiers passing the capital’s cathedral square. “Government officials and religious leaders” were expected to be among those paying their last respect before the bodies were flown to the U.S.
The U.S. embassy in Vilnius posted photos on Xitter showing the big turnout there. “The compassion, respect, and unwavering support demonstrated by Lithuania and all who stood with us will echo for years to come,” the post read.
