33 | Helping Refugees in Afghanistan

Operation Allies Refuge, or the OAR, was a United States military operation to airlift certain at-risk Afghan civilians, particularly interpreters, U.S. embassy employees, and other prospective Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants from Afghanistan during the final days of the 2001–2021 War in Afghanistan. It was a mission that should have had way more coverage in the United States. Sit down with me to hear all about my first hand experience with this mission while being overseas in Spain.
