AFSA is proud to join with Global Community Liaison Office, AAFSW, and many volunteers to offer our support to those evacuating from posts in the Middle East.
"I want to thank everyone who has come together to support the hundreds of members of our community making their way to safe haven locations across the United States.
Over the past 24 hours, I have been grateful to stand alongside our partners at Dulles Airport with a sign, welcoming Foreign Service members and offering a hug as they pass through the crowds and cameras and finally exhale.
We at AFSA are glad you're home and can’t wait until all are safe and sound." --President John "D**k" D**kelman.
