Flags were lowered to half-staff Thursday at Veterans Park in Sikeston, Missouri, to honor several Marines who were killed and a number of other American military who were wounded in Kabul, Afghanistan. Two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted on Thursday crowds massing near the Kabul airport, in the waning days of a massive airlift that has drawn thousands of people seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, according to the Associated Press.
