Widow of Fallen Marine Rylee McCollum Gives Birth to Baby Girl, Levi Rylee Rose

The widow of U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, who was one of 13 servicemembers killed in a terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, last month, gave birth Monday to a baby girl, Levi Rylee Rose, at Camp Pendleton in California.

As Breitbart News reported last month:

Rylee McCollum, a 20-year-old 2019 graduate of Jackson, Wyoming’s Jackson Hole High School, has been identified as one of the U.S. servicemembers killed in Thursday’s suicide bombing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, where U.S. evacuation efforts were underway.

According to reports, this was McCollum’s first deployment to Afghanistan. He “was manning a checkpoint at the airport when the bomb went off,” according to the [Casper] Star-Tribune. His older sister, Roice McCollum, said her brother always wanted to be a Marine.

“He wanted to be a Marine his whole life and carried around his rifle in his diapers and cowboy boots,” she said. “He was determined to be in infantry… Rylee wanted to be a history teacher and a wrestling coach when he finished serving his country.”

“He’s a tough, kind, loving kid who made an impact on everyone he met. His joke and wit brought so much joy,” she continued.

Rylee’s father, Jim McCollum, told Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Channel that he declined to meet with President Joe Biden at the dignified transfer ceremony for the remains of the fallen servicemembers:

A GoFundMe page for McCollum’s unborn daughter quickly raised over $500,000, and has raised nearly $700,000 thus far.

Rylee’s father, Jim McCollum, told Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Channel that he declined to meet with President Joe Biden at the dignified transfer ceremony for the remains of the fallen servicemembers:
You remember Biden don't you Brian Kilmeade? He's the one your network (illegally) made President by illegally defeating Trump. Don't tell that to Chris Wallace(D) at Fox, I'm sure he'll tell them he doesn't want to hear their crap about election fraud.

So now Brian, not only does Biden and Fox News have American Soldier's blood on their hands they also have a child without a father...and so do you Brian.

WOW! My prayer is that this YOUNG mother gets good counsel on how to invest that money for her daughter, and doesn’t fall victim AGAIN to The Taxman, Mother Government or evil people waiting in the wings to pounce!

I’m sure she’d rather have her husband back, but this is lottery-size winnings for this young mother. :(

I recommend not allowing your kid to join the military.

Heartbreaking.

As the son of a proud veteran, it hurts me to say this, but mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to put their lives in the hands of knaves like Dementia Joe and Mark Milley... or, for good measure, the Bush family. Your life is cheap to them.

If her husband was 20, she’s most likely younger, the same age, or MAYBE a year older.

How smart are ANY of us with money at 20 years old? Especially $700K that just fell from Heaven?

That said, I’m so happy her baby is healthy and perfect.
