00:00.240 --> 00:02.800
flights carrying more than 450 evacuees

00:02.800 --> 00:04.911
and vulnerable afghan population from

00:04.911 --> 00:07.022

august 27th and some operation allies

00:09.133 --> 00:11.590
refuge . We can't express how we are to

00:11.590 --> 00:13.479
take part in what is our nation's

00:13.479 --> 00:15.534
highest priority mission right now .

00:15.534 --> 00:17.868

food , and conduct administrative

processing to enable further , so their

ultimate destination for these people .

00:24.201 --> 00:24.100

00:30.378 --> 00:32.322
to enable that this very important

00:32.322 --> 00:34.100
mission . But probably the best

00:34.100 --> 00:36.211
gratitude is displayed in the eyes of

00:36.211 --> 00:36.020
the people who arrive today when they

00:36.030 --> 00:38.252
realize that they're finally in a place

00:38.252 --> 00:40.474
of safety and security . These evacuees
