DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — President Barack Obama made an overnight visit to Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday to honor the return of fallen soldiers, absorbing the ultimate cost of war as the United States endures its deadliest month of the Afghanistan campaign.
On a clear fall night, Obama flew by Marine One helicopter directly to Delaware to greet the flag-draped caskets of 18 Americans killed in action this week.
Upon arrival, the president got into a motorcade to a base chapel, where he was to meet privately with families of the fallen Americans.
The Dover base is the entry point for service personnel killed overseas.
