Joe Biden and Jill Biden bring flowers and gift baskets to wounded warriors at Walter Reed

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden went to Walter Reed Thursday night to visit wounded warriors. 

The Bethesda, Maryland facility is where a number of Marines who were injured in last week’s ISIS-K terror attack are recovering. 

The president and first lady took a motorcade to the national military medical center and left the press outside.

However, photographers were able to capture staff unloading flowers and gift baskets as the president and first lady arrived. 

Biden has taken heat for the United States’ frenzied exit from Afghanistan after a nearly 20-year war.

A week ago, an ISIS-K attack outside Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport – the one area of the country where the U.S. still had control over the Taliban – left 13 U.S. forces dead, along with nearly 200 Afghans. 

On Sunday, the Bidens traveled to Dover, Delaware for a dignified transfer ceremony of the remains of the 13 American war dead.   

Biden first visited Walter Reed as commander-in-chief just nine days into his presidency to visit wounded troops. 

He had been a patient in the facility in 1988 as a U.S. senator who was recovering from two brain aneurysms. 

Walter Reed is also where Biden’s son Beau – who served a tour in Iraq with the Delaware National Guard – battled the brain cancer he succumbed to in 2015. 

More recently Biden took Marine One to Walter Reed to check in on his wife, who injured her foot on a Hawaii beach. The first couple took a motorcade together back to the White House.
