About a year ago, the United States pulled out of Afghanistan, bringing America’s longest war to a chaotic end. The deaths of nearly 2,500 Americans, including the loss of 13 service members to a suicide bombing attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Aug. 31, 2021, still rings fresh in the ears of many.
With another almost 3,000 deaths attributed to the 9/11 attacks almost 21 years ago, the events surrounding Afghanistan may be seared into the memories of Americans forever.
