Transcription for Somber returns home for an Army soldier killed in an Afghan internal attack
the return of a fallen soldier, a hero, who was on his way to his home in Utah. Army commander Brent Taylor, a Utah mayor and father of seven children, was killed in his fourth term of service abroad. Tonight, what his wife said disconsolately about his return home on this day, election day. Here is ABC's main global affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz, tonight. Reporter: In the dark of dawn, a gloomy return home of army commander Brent Taylor, on this day Americans exercise their right to vote. His wife Jennie, broken but stoic. It seems only fair that Brent has returned home to the floor of the United States in a coffin covered with a flag on the day of our election. Reporter: Taylor, killed in an internal attack, one of the nearly 2,300 Americans killed in Afghanistan. But his story has hit a chord with so many. A Republican mayor, a father of seven. The oldest, Megan, 13, then Lincoln, Alex, Jacob, Ellie, Jonathan, little Caroline only 11 months. The public servant of Utah was considered a hero when it was deployed for the fourth time in January. The mission of his life, to close the gap of this nation. Taylor's wife today cited her last Facebook post: whether Republicans or Democrats win, I hope we all remember that we have more as Americans who unite us than divide us. An incredibly sad story, but a powerful message there today. We know that his two oldest sons were there. The rest of the children are very small. But is the community planning to have a service this weekend? Reporter: They will have a memorial service in the north of Ogden, but David, this is a reminder, their commitment to the country, their commitment to service. It shows us the true meaning of sacrifice and service. It really lands on this election day, too. Martha, we'll see you here for election night.
