Four years ago today, Kabul fell. We remember the chaos, the heartbreak, and the promises made in America’s name. We also remember how we — veterans, advocates, Afghans, and allies — came together. We refused to walk away. I sent this letter to #AfghanEvac this morning.

Rudik: I'm remembering all the friends that I lost in this war and seeing this red carpet is just a disgrace, honestly..  we are the victim of this war, and we are pushed to constantly reminding the American president that we didn't start this war.
