From Lowell to Kabul: One Veteran’s Fight for Afghan Allies | Frontline Voices

In this episode of Frontline Voices, we sit down with John Moses, retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class, Hoover Veteran Fellow, and co-founder of the Massachusetts Afghan Alliance. John shares his journey from a blue-collar upbringing in Lowell, Massachusetts, to serving in Afghanistan, and ultimately helping evacuate 68 Afghans during the chaotic 2021 withdrawal. We talk about the moral injury veterans felt watching the collapse, the shifting U.S. sentiment toward Afghan refugees, and how John is keeping the mission alive through community support and advocacy. His story is a testament to staying above the political fray, leading with compassion, and honoring the promises we made.
