#AfghanEvac President Shawn VanDiver is running around DC this week after a long summer recess to remind lawmakers and journalists that we still have thousands of allies in need of assistance.

Restart USRAP now and honor the promise to your allies. Saving lives is the greatest human duty. The White House President Donald J. Trump JD Vance
