Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan to the United States
Mrs. Khojesta Ebrahimkhel Thanks American Soldiers on Veterans Day
Today, I, along with the citizens of Afghanistan, would like to extend my sincerest thank you to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces for their service and bravery, especially those who have fought alongside the soldiers of the Afghan Army.
To the families of those who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan, words cannot express our gratitude for the service of your family member. We are grateful to you soldiers who have demonstrated; fighting and dieing for honor, democracy and freedom.
As we honor this Veterans’ Day, I would like to express my gratitude and sincerest thank you for their service. Afghans have been fortunate to enjoy tremendous support from many great American veterans as well as other friends and allies.
In the example of such tremendous dedication, our country strives toward independence and equality for all.

We know the courage and resolve required to devote one’s life to the service of others. This Veterans’ Day, Afghans join our American partners in keeping our hearts and minds with all the soldiers who have fallen, and strive to reflect in our actions the gratitude these heroes have profoundly earned.
Mrs. Khojesta Ebrahimkhel
