Obama personally welcomed the remains of 30 U.S. military personnel back home. The remains of 30 elite soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan when a U.S. helicopter was shot down by a seminarian arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on the 9th. President Obama personally went to the base to greet the deceased and express condolences to the family members. The scene was solemn and solemn. Defense Department spokesman Dave Lapan said that two C-17 transport planes carrying the remains of US troops landed at Dover Air Force Base before 10:30 a.m. on the 9th. In the morning, Obama, accompanied by Secretary of Defense Pennida, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mullen, Secretary of the Navy Maybus, Chief of Staff Roofhead and a large number of entourages, flew to Dover Air Force Base on four helicopters from the Fort McNair Army Base in Washington to pay tribute to the remains of the US military. This itinerary has not been announced to the public out of respect for the bereaved family. The Associated Press reported that Obama boarded the two special planes with a solemn expression to greet the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Obama said on the 8th: "These U.S. troops sacrificed their lives on the front lines for their country's values." He spent a long time at Dover Air Force Base paying condolences to the families of the fallen U.S. troops one by one. Obama lifted the ban in 2009 and allowed the media to visit the airport to cover the homecoming ceremony of U.S. military remains, but the decision must be based on the family members. However, the Ministry of National Defense stated that due to the severe damage when the helicopter crashed, the identification of the remains of the 30 US military personnel has not yet been completed, so the family members cannot authorize media interviews for the ceremony to welcome the remains. The remains of the US military returned home this time include 22 Navy SEALs, three Air Force Special Forces members and five Army personnel. Their coffins were all covered with national flags. The remains of eight Afghans who were killed at the same time were also brought to the United States with the US military, but the coffins were covered with the Afghan flag. At the same time, the military also officially announced that it would launch an investigation into the incident, including why the Navy SEALs were allowed to fly to support the incident.
