People ask me what do I think having worked the No One Left Behind mission for four years. I didn’t realize how addicting this work would be - I have one of the best jobs ever. I get to help Veterans come home from war and start their new lives in America. I cannot tell you how powerful it is to welcome them at the airport, present them with an American flag and say, “this is your flag now. You earned it. This is your county now. Welcome home. We’re so honored to have you with us and cannot thank you enough for your service and sacrifice.” The look in their eyes is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. This work has healed many wounds I carried home from war. But it has also created new ones. I cannot begin to describe how much it weighs on me - esp. at night. I can’t shake the memories of all those we’ve had to turn away. That’s the worst part of the job - not having enough resources to help everyone who needs it and having to be the American to tell them “sorry, you’re truly on your own. Best of luck.” We currently have 25 families arriving in just two of our chapters in the next two weeks. Will you help us properly welcome them home by making a donation to our cause? We’re currently facing unprecedented demand for our services. For every family we help, we’re now turning 12 away - a statistic that’s risen every year we’ve existed. We’re so beloved by those we help that word has spread throughout the Afghan and Iraqi communities that “if you need help, call No One Left Behind.” We need your support now more than ever. We fight on. Despite our challenges we fight on. We fight on because we have to, because we made a promise. We will persevere. We will accomplish our mission and keep our country’s promise to its veterans and wartime allies. And we’ll do it because of you - the thousands of fellow citizens who have answered the call and rallied to our cause. On behalf of the entire No One Left Behind family, thank you for helping us do such incredible good against such tremendous odds. We fight on.
