Among the 13 American soldiers killed in the attack at Kabul airport was Sergeant Nicole G., who was documented in a baby cradle that was handed over to her before evacuation from the Afghan capital.
A week before the deadly attack, G, 23, posted the photo on her Instagram account and wrote "I love my job."
G, of Sacramento, California, was a Marine Corps maintenance technician who lost 11 of his men in the deadly ISIS offensive in Afghanistan.
The other two killed were a Marine from the Navy and a soldier from the Army.
Eighteen more soldiers were injured in the suicide bombing on Thursday, which was the deadliest day by the United States military in Afghanistan since 2011.

Sergeant Mallory Harrison, who has lived with G for three years, wrote about how painful her friend's death was.
"I can't describe how I felt when I forced myself to go back to reality and think about not going to see it again," she wrote on Facebook.
"How her last breath was when she did what she loved - helping people. Then there was an explosion, and so suddenly, she went."
In another photo from her Instagram page, G was seen holding a rifle next to a row of people entering the trunk of a large transport plane.
"Accompanies the evacuees into the bird," she wrote.
