'I Want to Make a Good Life Here': Afghan Nationals Who Fled After Country's Downfall, Struggle to Find Place in American Life

The events of September 11, 2001, 21 years ago drew America into a two-decade-long war in Afghanistan. When President Joe Biden pulled U.S. forces out of the country a year ago, the images of people clinging to U.S. military planes were burned into history, marking a chaotic end to U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. As a result, thousands of Afghan nationals fled the nation, many ending up in America. While their roles in their home country were clear, here in the U.S., they've struggled to find their place. Now, those refugees are working to build a better life far from home.
