1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Save our Allies Congressional Gold Medal Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The events of August 2021 marked a significant turning point in the history of the United States engagement in Afghanistan, as the Nation underwent a process of withdrawal after over two decades of military presence.

Meanwhile, Tim Kennedy, Kevin Roarke, Sean Gabler, and Dave Johnson headed for HKIA itself. Setting up a command center at HKIA, the team conducted non-stop rescue operations
