    US President Joe Biden and other officials attend the dignified transfer of the remains of fallen service members at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware, after 13 US military members were killed in Afghanistan last week. President Joe Biden prepared Sunday at a US military base to receive the remains of the 13 American service members killed in Kabul. This solemn ritual comes amid fierce criticism of his handling of the Afghanistan crisis.
