A Senate resolution sponsored by Sens. Jerry Moran and Richard Blumenthal would honor the veteran volunteers involved in Afghanistan-related evacuation organizations. But while a great in theory, the resolution has too few details of veterans’ support activities to serve its intended effect.

The resolution focuses on veterans’ efforts to bring tens of thousands of Afghans to safety after the Aug. 15 fall of Kabul. Yet it offers only a cursory mention of volunteers’ “ongoing efforts to rescue those who remain trapped in Afghanistan.” For the veteran volunteers I have spoken with over the past six months, the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan was merely the start of the mission. With no end date for their operations, and with minimal support from the U.S. government, they have provided assistance to a portion of the estimated 130,000 Afghans who still await evacuation. These are individuals at risk for their participation in the Afghan military or government or their work with the U.S. military, government, media, or nongovernmental organizations.
