The Marine Corps has issued award upgrades to seven Marines who guarded Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate in Kabul when a su***de bomber struck on Aug. 26, 2021, killing 13 service members and about 170 Afghans, defense officials announced on Wednesday.

“After reviewing the original awards and determining that several had been inappropriately downgraded, these awards have now been upgraded to levels that more accurately reflect the extreme risk these Marines knowingly accepted and the lives they saved under direct enemy fire,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.

Stuart Scheller, the senior advisor to the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness and was referenced in Parnell’s announcement, posted on social media later on Wednesday that several of the Marines now have awards with a “V” device, which denotes heroism in combat. A Marine Corps official confirmed the awards to Task & Purpose.

No lo esperaba… pero cuando vi mi bandera, se me aguaron los ojos 🇵🇷

Después de tanto esfuerzo, sudor y disciplina, hoy puedo decir que me gradué de basic training. Y en ese momento, con mi bandera en las manos, entendí de dónde vengo, por quién lo estoy dando todo y lo mucho que vale cada sacrificio.

No es solo una bandera… es mi hogar y la voy a llevar para donde sea🇵🇷

//

just issued a ruling allowing our active duty members the right to sue military defense contractors - which was historically preempted by the !

In this case, a defense contractor negligently hired a Taliban operative who carried out a su***de bomb attack at Air Base in killing 5 soldiers and wounding 17 after he detonated his su***de vest on Veterans Day.

This ruling is so important for our service members, especially given the years of injustices they have experienced from the Feres Doctrine.

Please contact me with any questions-I remain committed to fighting for the rights of our military and their families.

Marines! We have officially crushed our Fiscal Year 2026 retention campaign because Marines want to stay Marines. I know not everyone will stay on Active Duty, and that’s okay.

But your service doesn’t have to end.

The Direct Affiliation Program (DAP) gives you a way to move straight into the Marine Corps Reserve with no break in service. You can keep wearing the uniform while gaining more flexibility in your day-to-day life. This is your sign to talk to your Career Planner before your next career decision!

Last month, Mexican Navy (Marina) sailors aboard the Reformador-class frigate ARM Benito Juárez (POLA 101) conducted a subject matter expert exchange with the visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) team aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG 101) in the Pacific Ocean.

As part of Southern Seas 2026, the USS Gridley also conducted a passing exercise with Secretaría de Marina’s ARM Benito Juárez during a Mexico-U.S. bilateral maritime engagement. Southern Seas 2026 aims to enhance capabilities, improve interoperability, and strengthen maritime partnerships.

This engagement highlights the decades-long partnership between the U.S. and Mexico, built on trust, mutual benefit, and respect for sovereignty. Together, we continue to enhance operational readiness and coordination to address shared maritime challenges.
