In the years since the Biden administration abandoned America’s Afghan allies to the Taliban, I’ve told you about my frustrated efforts to save Afghans I served with in the Afghanistan War. Recently, I have new hope with the proposal of the Afghan Adjustment Act cosponsored by Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA). I spoke with Miller-Meeks to learn more about the AAA.

Miller-Meeks is passionate about our military. At age 18, in 1974, she had the courage to enlist in the Army. She served active duty as a nurse and eventually retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve in 2000. Her husband and several members of her family also served. She’s a leader in Congress in terms of knowledge of and dedication to America’s military and veterans.
