Summary
At a Georgia event, Donald Trump said he brought the family of Army 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan aboard Air Force One after meeting them at Dover during the dignified transfer ceremony.
Feehan, 25, was one of four U.S. service members killed in Jordan while supporting a U.S. mission; U.S. Central Command announced the deaths Saturday.
Trump called dignified transfers the toughest duty of the presidency and used his remarks in Marietta to praise Feehan as an exceptional young officer with a future he said could have led to general.
The tribute came during a trip to Georgia focused on Trump's "Trump Accounts" savings initiative, turning the event into a public memorial for the fallen lieutenant and his family.
