As events rapidly unfold in Afghanistan, we understand that the news may be distressing to many of you. You are not alone.

To our community of servicemembers, veterans, caregivers, survivors and their families, and to all who served in Afghanistan, we know this is an extremely difficult time for you. Your service and sacrifice will never ever be forgotten or forsaken. We see you, we honor you, and we are here for you.
