Khizr and Ghazala Khan have found themselves in the headlines this week following Khizr's speech at the Democratic National Convention. Here is what you need to know about this Gold Star family.
In June 2004, Khan was killed by a suicide car bomb at the age of 27 after ordering his fellow soldiers to “hit the dirt.” He was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
Humayun Khan had emigrated with his family from the United Arab Emirates at the age of 2 and had hoped to become a military lawyer. He was one of 14 Muslim-American soldiers killed in action in the decade after 9/11, according to a release from the Democratic National Convention Committee.
