Biden Refers to Fallen Soldiers as 'Fallen Angels'

In his speech last night to the Democratic convention, Vice President Joe Biden referred to fallen soldiers as “fallen angels.”

Biden said, “And tonight — tonight, I want to acknowledge — I want to acknowledge, as we should every night, the incredible debt we owe to the families of those 6,473 fallen angels, and those 49,746 wounded — thousands critically — thousands who will need our help for the rest of their lives. Folks, we never — we must never, ever forget their sacrifice and always keep them in our care and in our prayers.”
