Pentagon identifies two U.S. army pilots killed in Afghanistan earlier this week when their Apache helicopter crashed.
President Donald Trump made an unannounced trip to Delaware Thursday evening to honor two U.S. Army pilots killed in Afghanistan this week when their Apache helicopter crashed.
The president traveled with first lady Melania Trump, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and actor Jon Voight, to whom Trump presented an award at the White House earlier that day.
The two deaths bring the number of combat deaths in Afghanistan this year to 19, making 2019 the deadliest year for U.S. forces there in five years. Both Knadle and Fuchigami had just arrived in Afghanistan beginning their deployment in October 2019. Knadle joined the Army in April 2013, and following his initial training was assigned to the 1-227th in April 2015 as an Apache pilot.
