Marine Corps Upgrades Valor Awards For Company G Who Held Abbey Gate

The Marine Corps has upgraded valor awards for Company G, 2/1 Marines who held Abbey Gate during the chaotic days of the Biden administration's failed Afghanistan withdrawal. This recognition honors the soldiers who defended the gate against a suicide bomber on August 26, 2021, when the evacuation was underway. The move comes after a full investigation into the withdrawal was announced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
