We must help No One Left Behind!

Combat Interpreters Need Your Help
Help us save the heroic combat interpreters who risked their lives to help our U.S. troops on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan
No One Left Behind is a nonprofit organization that assists combat interpreters who have worked with our U.S. military, government agencies or contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan for at least one year resettle safely in the U.S. The risks and sacrifices these heroic translators have made for our country are truly inspirational. They fought and led on the battlefield alongside our soldiers and Marines, and many are directly responsible for saving the lives of U.S. troops.
As a result of their service to us, thousands of interpreters across Iraq and Afghanistan were branded as traitors and placed on insurgency group “hit lists.” The were systematically targeted, hunted and murdered by Al Qaeda, the Taliban and other terrorist groups in the Middle East. These translators had no option but to do their best to hide and evade capture while hoping and praying the insurgents would eventually “forget” about them.
Fortunately, in 2008, Congress approved the Special Immigrant Visa program which offers Iraqi and Afghan nationals who worked for U.S. forces or entities for a minimum of one year the opportunity to apply for a Visa to immigrate to the U.S. Unfortunately, once these veterans arrived in the U.S. many of them often ended up living on the streets – unable to find jobs and struggling to adjust to their new country.
The Afghan interpreter who served as Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ personal translator during one of his visits to Kabul was, thankfully, awarded a Visa to come to the U.S., but three months after his arrival, unable to find work, he was evicted from his apartment and spent several weeks living on the streets of San Francisco with his wife, 4-yr-old son and 2-yr-old daughter until volunteers from No One Left Behind learned of his situation and were able to find him and his family to pick them up.
Our combat interpreters deserve better than this. We as a nation MUST do better than this to support our allies.

No One Left Behind was founded in 2013 by a former U.S. Army Captain whose Afghan translator saved his life during a firefight with the Taliban. No One Left Behind helps interpreters and their families navigate the process of applying for their Special Immigrant Visas and then, once they arrive in the U.S., we assist them in settling into their new lives here in America. These families arrive with little more than a suitcase and a dream.

Typically, a refugee resettlement agency provides enough to cover the first couple of months rent and the translators also get food stamps, Medicaid and around $850 a month in assistance. But rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the San Diego area is well over $1,000 a month, so unless organizations like No One Left Behind step in and help subsidize their rent and find them gainful employment, they often face eviction within 90 days of their arrival.
Once we have met their basic needs and ensured they are able to keep a roof over their heads, No One Left Behind immediately gets to work helping these individuals find employment so they can become self-sufficient members of our communities. Our volunteers help them develop resumes, our organization hosts Job Skills Workshops and, because they have no means of transportation, we drive them to interviews or teach them how to use public transit and Uber. These translators want to work and they want to provide for their families on their own. But they have a tough uphill battle from the moment they set foot in this country.

“We owe it to these interpreters to help them and their families adjust to their new homes, integrate into our societies and give them a helping hand until they can stand on their own two feet. They deserve at least this much for the sacrifices they made on the battlefield in service to our country and military missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

~ General David Petraeus

Argus Publishing takes on Jennifer Johnson’s nonfiction, The Kingdom Child, based on the true story of Jordan Allen.

Argus Publishing takes on Jennifer Johnson’s nonfiction, The Kingdom Child, based on the true story of Jordan Allen.

Jennifer Johnson

A true story of what happens during coma and how God’s plans are always best, even when we don’t agree.

Jordan Allen and his family

Fourteen-year-old Jordan Allen learned the power of prayer is not always getting what you want but accepting the answer you receive. Growing up in a strong Christian home, he knew God had a plan for his life, he just did not know if playing professional sports was what He had in mind. Each night, he would ask God ‘to help him be all that he needed to be,’ hoping his prayer would reveal God’s plan.

Several months later, Jordan’s prayer was answered, but not in the way he expected. After being diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor, Jordan discovered his purpose would be revealed while battling for his life. In and out of a coma, Jordan was given the gift of seeing both the physical world and the spiritual world as one. He learned it’s not a physical death we should fear but spiritual death, even among those claiming to be Christian.

The Kingdom Child will prompt each reader to look at the authenticity of their own faith through personal discovery of the path they’re on. We are either on a pathway to life or the pathway to death, and only a Kingdom Child can distinguish the difference.
