Honoring the brave men and women who participated in the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021 following the United States withdrawal, for their extraordinary efforts and exceptional service in the safe evacuation of over 17,000 people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and for other purposes.

H. Res. 595 is a ceremonial House resolution introducing and honoring a group of 13 individuals who participated in the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021 after the U.S. withdrawal. The measure acknowledges their extraordinary efforts in safely evacuating over 17,000 people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and highlights a narrative of swift organization, courage, and perseverance—work led by Chad Robichaux and a coalition of Special Operations veterans, with coordinated support from others including Sarah Verardo. The resolution frames these actions as a powerful fulfillment of U.S. commitments to the Afghan people and to humanitarian duty, and it expresses gratitude on behalf of the nation. As a ceremonial statement, the resolution does not create new policy, authorize funding, or establish enforceable requirements. It is referred to the Committee on Armed Services and serves to publicly recognize and honor the individuals and their actions, contributing to the historical record and national remembrance of the evacuation effort.
