US Vice President JD Vance on Monday attended the dignified transfer ceremony for the seventh soldier killed in the Middle East conflict. Vance was joined by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, at Dover Air Force Base in the eastern state of Delaware.

During the ceremony, uniformed soldiers silently carried a flag-draped coffin from a C-17 aircraft to a transfer vehicle while Vance, Hegseth and Caine saluted. Six other fallen soldiers -- five men and one woman -- have been returned to US soil.
