Trump pays respects to 2 Iowa National Guardsmen and interpreter killed in Syria as they return home
President Donald Trump has paid his respects to two Iowa National Guard members and a U.S. civilian who were killed inĀ an attack in Syria last weekend. Trump traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday to watch the dignified transfer of their remains to their families. The Army says Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard of Iowa died in Saturday's attack. They were among hundreds of U.S. troops sent to eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group. Also killed was Ayad Mansoor Sakat, a U.S. civilian interpreter from Macomb, Michigan.
