Task Force Atterbury: Afghan guests create a mobile mural of gratitude

Operation Allies Welcome - Operation Allies Refuge

Nov. 17, 2021 | 2:46

Tiffany Black, an Art Facilitator with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, works with Afghan guests and military personnel to create a “traveling mural” as part of Operation Allies Welcome at Camp Atterbury, Ind., Nov. 17, 2021. The project, inspired by the artists’ experiences in Afghanistan and hopes for a better future, incorporates therapeutic techniques and creative expression as a means to promote healing and well-being among Afghan evacuees during the resettlement process. This initiative provides essential support at secure locations outside of Afghanistan. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities in permanent or temporary structures as quickly as possible. (U.S. Army video by Sgt.
