About Impacts of War
Impacts of War is a critical initiative of Operation Recovery, dedicated to documenting the profound sacrifices of veterans and the atrocities surrounding the Afghan collapse. Our mission is to illuminate these often-overlooked stories, advocate for justice, and support those who have served.
Operation Recovery has been at the forefront of veteran advocacy, with a proven track record of collecting vital information and bringing it to the highest levels of government:
Our Roots in Advocacy and Action
Congressional Testimony: In a landmark moment, Operation Recovery testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, shedding light on the atrocities faced by our allies in Afghanistan and the far-reaching impacts on veterans and future conflicts.
Data Collection Expertise: For years, we've meticulously gathered and analyzed data on our Afghan allies’ experiences, sacrifices, and the broader implications of the Afghan conflict.
Veteran-Centric Approach: Our work is informed by and centered on veterans' experiences, ensuring that every initiative we undertake is grounded in the realities faced by those who served.

The Impacts of War Project
Building on this foundation, Impacts of War focuses on:
Documenting Sacrifices: We collect and analyze data on the financial and emotional toll borne by veterans during and after the Afghan collapse.
Recording Atrocities: We create a comprehensive record of the atrocities that occurred before and after Afghanistan's fall, ensuring these events are not forgotten.
Advocating for Change: Our research and testimonies support legislative efforts like HR 4517 to address veteran needs and conflict consequences.
Amplifying Voices: We provide a platform for veterans to share their stories, fostering public understanding and driving policy discussions.
Supporting Mental Health: We collaborate with Heroes Wellness Collective partners to offer crucial mental health resources to veterans participating in our project.
