Kevin Reed, 52, left, of Boise, Idaho and Michael Christopher, 59, of Eagle, Idaho, join protesters outside the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise as they gather for President Joe Biden’s visit on Monday, Sept. 13, 2021. Biden’s stop in Boise is part of a swing through Western states in which he will promote his administration’s use of a wartime law to aid in wildfire preparedness. Both veterans were attending their first protest and are upset about what happened in Afghanistan. “We left people behind, and we don’t do that,” said Christopher. (AP Photo/Keith Ridler)
