Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witness for being with us today.
I want to make a brief comment.
When I was three years old, I was fortunate enough to travel to Afghanistan before the Russians invaded. The people I saw were incredible. What they're going through now is horrifying.
My hats off to you for the work you did. The conditions are extremely dry and very tough. Despite that, your morale is high and you've done an excellent job maintaining your ties. You're doing a good thing, and we can say that with pride because the civilians there need that.
