President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris "have never once reached out" to the Gold Star families who lost their loved ones in the deadly bombing at Abbey Gate that killed 13 Americans during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal three years ago. 

Members of the Gold Star families participated in a call with GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, the Trump campaign and reporters Monday afternoon — three years after the attack.

Eighteen other U.S. service members were wounded. The bombing also left more than 150 civilians dead.

Former President Trump held a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery Monday morning to commemorate and honor the 13 American servicemembers who were killed.

But neither Biden nor Harris attended, or held any similar events on Monday to honor the fallen soliders. 

"I think this administration has shown they have treated the Afghanistan withdrawal like the plague – they’ve stayed as far away from it as they possibly can," Gold Star father Mark Schmitz said in response to a question by Fox News Digital. "I’m not surprised in the least bit that neither one of them would show up for this event." 

Schmitz told Fox News Digital that "it is pretty obvious that when things get tough, they go running." 

"This is yet another spit in the face to the 13 families," Schmitz told Fox News Digital.

Schmitz added that Trump’s presence at the event "was genuine."

"I don’t see this as being part of his political campaign in any way, shape or form," Schmitz said. "He has always vowed to be there for us—since we met with him early on—and he has never let us down." 

Schmitz lost his 20-year-old son, U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, that day. 

Gold Star Aunt Cheryl Juels, who attended the ceremony Monday at Arlington National Ceremony, said that "it doesn’t matter" what Biden or Harris say, adding "it is not genuine." 

"He has never once reached out to any of our families,"  Juels said, "Kamala Harris has never once reached out. Kamala Harris supported [Biden] this entire time."

Juels, the aunt of fallen Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Ghee, told Fox News Digital that "the only person who has reached out to our family over and over again and to all 13 families is Trump." 

"Him coming out here today and honoring these kids who served, and spending the time talking to all of us and doing this ceremony and showing them honor and respect and dignity," Juels said. "We need President Trump back in office." 

Juels said Trump "is the only president president who kept our men and women safe who were serving this country. We 100% support him." 

"We will do whatever we can to get him back into office so that we can keep the men and women serving this country safe again," Juels said. 

Fox News Digital had previously reported that the suicide bomber had been a prisoner released from Bagram Air Base on Aug. 15, 2021, after the Taliban seized control of the facility.
