The crowd of Republicans at their national convention chanted each of the names of the 13 service members who were killed in Afghanistan in a powerful moment at the RNC.
The Gold Star families whose loved ones were killed received a standing ovation as they took the stage to blast Biden's handling of the chaotic withdrawal.
Their appearance came after a gut-wrenching video where they described the moment they learned they had lost their sons and daughters until the moment Biden checked his watch when their bodies were returned to the U.S.
The crowd chanted 'never again' in between their speeches at the Milwaukee convention.
'While Joe Biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice, Donald Trump spent six hours in Bedminster with us,' said Christy Shamblin, mother-in-law to late Sgt. Nicole Ghee. 'He allowed us to grieve. He allowed us to remember our heroes.'

Shamblin said Trump spoke to the families 'in a way that made us feel understood.'
'Donald Trump carried the weight for a few hours with me,' Shamblin said. 'For the first time since Nicole's death I felt like I wasn't alone in my grief.'
Trump remained standing as the family members took to the stage to speak.
As Herman Lopez, father of the late Hunter Lopez, read off each of the 13 names which he said Biden had never yet uttered, the crowd repeated them back.
'[Biden] let my son down. He let the 13 down. He let the 45 wounded down. He let those 174 civilians down. He let our country down.'
At the end of the emotional testimony, Trump mouthed from his seat, 'so beautiful.'
The families spoke exclusively with DailyMail.com at the Fiserv Forum on Tuesday.
Their kids were among the 13 Americans and some 170 Afghans who died days later when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive in August 2021. To date, not a single Biden administration official has taken responsibility for the loss of life.
Darin Hoover, who lost his son Taylor Hoover, a 31-year-old Marine Corps staff sergeant in the attack, said he wants to ensure 'what happened to our kids never happens again' by getting Trump reelected.
'Sure, war is hell and we're going to lose some,' he continued, 'but not in the manner that our kids were lost.'

Trump remained standing as the family members took to the stage to speak.
'I'm here because Trump speaks for me, he speaks for my morals, my beliefs. He speaks truth,' Taylor's sister Coral Doolittle told DailyMail.com.
'We are here to support Trump because we need a change. We need somebody that cares for veterans, our military, our military families...and we know that he's gonna do it for us,' added Kelly Barnett, Taylor's mother.
'I'm supporting Trump because in the last three years and my son has been gone, we have tried to reach out to him President Joe Biden and he's yet to even return our calls or asked us to meet with us,' Alicia Lopez, mother of Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez, disclosed.
She said in the 'almost three years that we've lost our children,' President Trump has been the 'only one who has come to us and asked us how we're feeling and asked us how we're doing.'
Her husband Herman Lopez said 'Joe Biden has dropped the ball' and there is no longer 'trust' in his administration.
'We need a leader that we can have confidence in,' he continued.
