Our History
Beginning on August 12, 2021, Veterans began working together to arrange transportation for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holder who served as an interpreter with U.S. Forces in Afghanistan. As the crisis evacuation operations in Afghanistan unfolded, the necessity to assist and sustain individuals who have directly supported the U.S. and NATO Forces, as well as those who have been targeted and displaced, became evermore apparent. Thanks to our volunteers' coordinated efforts during the early days of the Afghanistan crisis, people were saved and crucial, lasting alliances with external humanitarian groups were established.
