Marine Corps Cpl. Daegan Page, 23. Known for his contagious laughter and his need for adventure.
August 26th, 2021 became the deadliest day for U.S troops in years. Thirteen beautiful souls were taken when an ISIS suicide bomber detonated an explosive outside the Kabul airport. U.S troops were located at this airport in attempts to evacuate as many people from the Kabul area before the Taliban took charge. During the explosion, over a hundred Afghanistan citizens were killed alongside the thirteen U.S heroes.
In the days following the attack, the nation was heartbroken. When tragedy strikes, people's souls are enriched with a want for change and unity. However, when life continues to take its course, people lose sight of their goals and they also undercut the impact they can make...but look at the impact the Thirteen made!
As a nation we mourned the Thirteen, but after that, many of us forgot August 26th 2021. It is for this reason that this website is dedicated to the Thirteen. The Thirteen are heroes and like other historical heroes we admire and respect, we make attempts to educate ourselves on their actions and carry on their legacy. In the same way the Thirteen saved lives in return for their own, it is time we serve the service members that put their everything on the line for us.
This website is dedicated to Daegan, Darin, David, Dylan, Humberto, Hunter, Jared, Johanny, Kareem, Maxton, Nicole, Ryan, and Rylee because if they were here I know they would be making an impact every day. They left behind a tremendous example of sacrifice, and now it's our turn.
