In honor of Veteran’s Day 2026, the Morris County Office of Planning & Preservation is releasing a project honoring the veterans of Morris County who served in Afghanistan. This project highlights their background and stories in service to their country. Operation Enduring Freedom officially began October 7, 2001, with American and British bombing strikes against al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in Afghanistan. American troops were recalled from Afghanistan on Monday, August 30, 2021. Afghanistan surpassed Vietnam as the longest American war in history.
