3 generations of 1 family gave their all to USAID

  • In 1983, a suicide attack targeting the U.S. Embassy in Beirut resulted in the deaths of Albert Votaw and 16 other American personnel, including colleagues from USAID.
  • The attack spurred Cathy Votaw, Albert's daughter, to shift from private law to federal prosecution and advocate for victims of extremist attacks.
  • The names of 98 USAID and foreign assistance personnel have been commemorated over the years within a dedicated memorial area at USAID headquarters, honoring their service and sacrifice.
  • Survivors, including Cathy, secured a federal court ruling holding Iran responsible and pushed Congress to create a fund using billions in fines for victims.
  • Despite this legacy, USAID’s independent agency functions ended, its Washington headquarters closed, and the Beirut memorial was removed, with plans for a new memorial site.
