10 Photos Show How Soldiers Had To Spend Their Christmas In Afghanistan On Monday, December 21, 2015, a suicide bomber reportedly killed 6 airmen near Bagram air base in Afghanistan. Now, the Taliban are claiming responsibility for the attack, which happened shortly before Christmas. The attack is being deemed the deadliest attack against U.S. forces in Afghanistan in more than three years, and the loss felt by our men and women in uniform is palpable. Following the tragedy, the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Facebook page shared photos from the service that was held in honor of the fallen. Instead of being home with their families, the soldiers from multiple units were paying their respects to their brothers in arms. Here are just a few of the powerful images that were posted. What do you think? Do you send your prayers and gratitude to the men and women who continue to fight for our country each day?
