Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover spent his final moments handing out ammo to his fellow Marines despite facing mortal injuries from the suicide attack on the Kabul airport.
This article is part of a Fox News Digital series examining the consequences of the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. It has been updated with new quotes and information as Taylor Hoover's loved ones remember the Marine two years after he was killed while assisting with the evacuation.
"He cared about his men more than he did himself," Taylor's father, Darin Hoover, told Fox News."If that isn’t the definition of a true warrior, I don’t know what is." "Our family will never stop fighting for justice and the truth for Taylor and the other 12," Barnett told Fox News. "I want answers," he continued."I want accountability. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again."
Taylor sported a bracelet in memorial of 9/11 throughout his career. Barnett has since inherited that item, which the Marine was wearing when he was killed.AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL: A POLITICAL TURNING POINT FOR WAY THE PUBLIC FELT ABOUT BIDEN
