Welcome to The Afghanistan Project Podcast.

My guest today is Elizabeth Lynn, the director of governmentoperations at Operation Recovery, where she directs the Afghanistan and Grow America Farm Corps initiatives. Elizabeth served in the U.S. Air Force and the Navy Reserves, and has received multiple commendations for her service. After holding a variety of positions with the U.S. Postal Service, USCIS, IRS and other U.S. government institutions, Elizabeth retired in 2020. She came out of retirement shortly thereafter to help Afghans left behind in their homeland.

Elizabeth talks about Afghans who are impacted by currentoperational orders, the impact on exhausted veterans, and an upcoming resilience event for veterans, hosted by Operation Recovery on March 17.
