Honoring the members of the Armed Forces who served in the war in Afghanistan.

H. Res. 667 is a non-binding House resolution introduced in the 119th Congress to honor and remember the members of the Armed Forces who served in the war in Afghanistan. It recognizes the Afghanistan war as the longest U.S. conflict, notes the large number of service members deployed and the casualties suffered (2,461 killed and more than 20,000 wounded, plus ongoing impacts like PTSD and TBI), and specifically mentions the August 26, 2021 Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 service members during the evacuation. The resolution expresses gratitude to veterans and their families, including Gold Star families, and reiterates the federal government’s obligation to provide timely and comprehensive support, care, and recognition for Afghanistan veterans and their families. It was introduced in the House by Mr. Van Drew and referred to the Armed Services and Veterans’ Affairs committees. This resolution is ceremonial and symbolic. It does not create new laws, authorize spending, or impose new requirements on agencies, but it signals congressional appreciation and a reaffirmation of support for veterans and their families.
