LEGEND

FROM AMERICAN SOLDIER TO AFGHAN LEGEND

"Legend” is an Afghan-American, former U.S. Army Staff Sergeant currently working tirelessly to evacuate at-risk Afghans from persecution by the Taliban.

Since the fall of Kabul in August 2021, he has assisted hundreds of at-risk Afghans to safety including U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, Christians and other minorities as well as our vetted Afghan allies. Most recently, he returned to Afghanistan to personally aid in the evacuations.

He continues to work day and night with numerous stakeholder groups who call on “Legend” to assist those in desperate need. Prior to the 2021 evacuation efforts, he served in the U.S. military directly in Afghanistan and then focused on anti-terrorist efforts for numerous U.S. government agencies.

Days before 9/11, he came to the U.S. from Afghanistan as a teenage refugee with a bag of clothes and limited English. He joined the U.S. Army only a few years later. “Legend” has been fighting for American freedoms, liberty, and prosperity ever since.

"It is better I as an American pay with my blood than for America to pay with its reputation," says Legend and that is why he is helping keep America's promises.
