The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared additional information and photographs from their Veterans Day engagements in New Jersey. The couple visited Task Force Liberty, on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is home to more than 10,000 Afghan refugees. Harry and Meghan spent time with women who recently arrived at the base, which provides emergency accommodation, medical care and support.
"Harry and Meghan are known for speaking openly about their mental health and for encouraging others to do the same.
According to the US Air Force Expeditionary Center website, "Task Force Liberty initiated in August in line with the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Active duty, guard and reserve service members from across the force came together with outside agencies to create a space that could provide support to over 10,000 Afghan guests as they immigrated into the United States."
Senior Airman Jayuana Tyler discusses her role on the base and shares a background on daily operations.
Harry and Meghan met children and teachers at the school where Afghan pupils were learning English. A spokesperson for the couple said, "They asked staff about common terms in Dari, and left every interaction with children and adults alike saying ‘tashakur’, which means ‘thank you'.
'Stopping by at classroom for young children, the couple were able to take part in a conversational English class taking place. As the group learned the words for colors, Meghan helped by holding different shades of markers in the air for the children to call out their answers.
An Archewell Foundation statement added that, on their way out of the classroom, the couple thanked the teachers for their "tireless efforts, and reminded them to take care of themselves and their own mental health as well."
Earlier in the day the couple had met derive members and their spouses in another area of the 42,000-acres tri-service base. At present, there are more than than 1,200 service members currently stationed in New Jersey to support the Afghan guests and their families. Permanent housing options are currently being built.'
The couple led the class in a rendition of 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes', which they revealed is a favourite of Archie's.
