Greenville, NC — Today, Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. issued a statement on the third anniversary of the attack on Abbey Gate that led to the death of 13 American service members.

"Today, we remember the 13 U.S. service members who were tragically killed at Abbey Gate outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "The disastrous withdrawal that led to the horrific consequences of that day will never be forgotten and those responsible for the lack of preparedness and execution of the mission must be held accountable. I pray for the Gold Star families who lost their loved ones and continue to feel the pain today. These courageous men and women, who made the ultimate sacrifice, were among America’s finest."

In 2021, Congressman Greg Murphy visited Arlington National Cemetery to honor Marine Corps Sergeant Nicole L. Gee, who deployed from Camp Lejeune, NC.
