Our request is that perhaps a commission be instituted, especially for our heritage sites for how those can be preserved in conjunction and working in collaboration with the Afghan government. The United States would love to help and assist. That's something that really tugs at the hearts. We have historical shrines that are hundreds of years old where Guru Nanak Sahib Ji himself came and visited. Many Afghan families are not only interlinked there, but they're risking their lives because they refuse to leave them unguarded.
