The dignified transfer of the six U.S. soldiers killed during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East will be held Saturday at Dover Air Force Base, according to an Iowa congressman.
The ritual is a transfer of remains of U.S. troops killed during their military service and is one of the most solemn acts for any president. The White House has said President Donald Trump will attend.
“This Saturday, I will attend the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base to honor the brave Americans who were killed in action and stand with their families during this solemn moment,” Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, said in a statement Thursday.
It was part of a statement in which he confirmed that a separate political event featuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth would be postponed.
Two of the six killed were from Iowa.
The six soldiers who died have been identified as:
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento
Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Indianola, Iowa
Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida
Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska
