The bodies of six soldiers killed in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan have arrived back in the U.S. tonight following an emotional memorial ceremony.

The remains of Major Adrianna Vorderbruggen, Technical Sergeant Joseph Lemm and staff sergeants Louis Bonacasa, Chester McBride, Peter Taub, Joseph Lemm and Michael Cinco were flown from Bagram air base in Afghanistan to New Castle Air National Guard Base in Delaware. 

With their coffins draped in the American flag, they were carried off of an Air Force plane at a base in Delaware, where Defense Secretary Ash Carter gave a solemn salute.
