This will hopefully be the first of many. Elisa is the wife of Greg Frich who deployed in 2021, ending with the NEO in HKIA. She generously offered her testimony in the hopes that it will help other spouses and loved ones of HKIA veterans who may recognize some of her experiences and struggles. Despite all of that Elisa, along with Greg, are hopeful for their family and their future.
This interview was conducted by Katlin Rodriguez, a military spouse of over ten years and a valued member of OAR's Historical Research and Preservation Team. Her willingness, kindness, and fortitude have been and will undoubtedly continue to be a great help for other spouses and families. We at the Operation Allies Refuge Foundation want to bring more stories like this to light (and with better quality) so that people can know and understand what happened in the final days of America's mission in Afghanistan.
