Agent Frances Duncan

The bipartisan Afghanistan War Commission (AWC) held a powerful session during the 126th VFW National Convention with more than 20 veterans sharing their deeply personal stories about serving in . The AWC just released its second interim report. While it does not yet draw final conclusions, it highlights emerging themes and the disconnect between Afghanistan-based operations and broader global counterterrorism goals. The final report remains on track for completion and submission to Congress in August 2026. This report is designed to reflect the full breadth of experiences, and veterans are still invited to share their stories directly with the ACW.
