Ask any veteran who served overseas and they will tell you that our mission, and sometimes our lives, depended on the interpreters, translators, and other local allies of Iraq and Afghanistan. These allies stood alongside us—at great risk to their own lives and their families’.
We were taught to never leave anyone behind. Though we’ve taken off our uniforms, our service to this country and its values hasn’t ended. Neither did the promise we made to our allies.
For the last two years, VFAI has been fighting to keep that promise.
