Relative to the Mohammed Kahn.

Senate Resolution 65 honors Private Mohammed Kahn, an Afghan immigrant who served in the Union Army during the Civil War (1861-1865) and became one of the few Muslim veterans to receive a federal pension. The resolution commemorates his military service, including battles like Malvern Hill and Spotsylvania, as well as his resilience amid racial and religious barriers, such as being misidentified as a Blackfoot Indian and wrongly arrested. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies to Afghan American cultural organizations, Muslim American institutions, and Civil War historical societies to preserve and share Kahn’s story for future generations.
