The July 25 #FoxNews.com story relied on an account from freshman Rep #CoryMills (R-FL), who stated that the family of Sgt #NicoleLGee had shouldered “a heavy financial burden” of $60k to retrieve her body from #Afghanistan. #Gee, 23, was one of 13 US service members killed in a suicide bombing at the #KabulAirport in the frantic final days of the US withdrawal.
