Darin Taylor Hoover

Darin Taylor Hoover is a Gold Star father and a vocal advocate for accountability regarding the deaths of U.S. service members during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. His son, Staff Sgt. Darin 'Taylor' Hoover, was one of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Abbey Gate bombing. Hoover has publicly criticized the Biden administration for what he perceives as failures in the vetting process of Afghan evacuees, particularly in light of a recent shooting incident involving an Afghan national. He has consistently demanded answers and accountability from government officials, asserting that the consequences of the withdrawal continue to affect American lives.
