Afghanistan War veterans
Afghanistan War veterans are military personnel who served in the United States' military operations in Afghanistan, primarily from 2001 to 2021. These veterans often experienced combat, exposure to danger, and stressful situations that can impact their physical and mental health. Many returned with injuries, including PTSD and physical disabilities. They may also face challenges reintegrating into civilian life, accessing healthcare, and dealing with the emotional impacts of their service. Recognizing their sacrifices is important, and efforts are ongoing to support their well-being, recovery, and successful transition back into society.
