56. It's Marine Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews who is injured that day and testified against Biden.

An injured Marine gives searing testimony on the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan

The hearing's most compelling testimony came from Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a Marine sergeant injured in the Aug. 26, 2021 terror attack at the Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport. He recounted the events leading up to the bombing that left 13 U.S. servicemembers protecting the airport dead, many others injured and scores of Afghan civilians killed.

Vargas-Andrews said he and another Marine assigned to protect the airport received intelligence about a possible suicide bomber approaching the area. He said they spotted him and his associate in the crowd and alerted supervisors and requested authority to engage but never got it. He told the panel he believes those individuals were responsible for the attack. "Plain and simple, we were ignored," he said.

Vargas-Andrews broke down and paused several times as he described the flash of the bomb knocking him off his feet.

"My body was overwhelmed from the trauma of the blast. My abdomen had been ripped open. Every inch of my exposed body took ball bearing and shrapnel." He said no one interviewed him about the attack in the investigation that followed.

He's not a family member. He was there to give a speech against Biden. Ironically, he accused Biden of visiting him for a photo-op. I'm pretty sure the other guy is a congressional aide.
