Gold Star Dad Refutes Pentagon Pete’s War Meeting Claim
Charles Simmons, father of Tech. Sgt. Tyler Simmons killed in a KC-135 crash linked to Iran operations, says his private Dover meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not include urging to finish the war, contradicting Hegseth’s claim that families pressed to press on; NBC News quotes Simmons saying the discussion centered on his son and he did not advocate for continuing the war.
