Jason's interpreter.
Forgot to post this earlier, some Imma make up by donating a few bucks. Jason Lambright’s interpreter from Afghanistan is finally getting to the US this month. Some guys from his unit have been working to extract him and his family from refugee limbo.
Jason’s written about it over at the Valley.
At last, he and his family will be Stateside in January. This is real success, and it is the product of years of labor by Matt, who has his shit together. A lot of people have helped out here- and you guys in particular. It’s not easy to fork over cash to someone you don’t know, but this is a worthy cause for a fella who risked it all for us overseas.
And now, real, no-bullshit results. The tickets have been purchased, and an apartment and support are in place for these latest and most welcome immigrants.
Thank you, each and every one of you.
It's appalling that governments aren't just doing this. Not just the US but Australia, I'm looking at you.
Good luck to them.
There are a number of interpreters employed by Australian's while in Afghanistan that were also abandoned. Collectively as one of the colonial powers its stuff like this I think that leads other country's citizen to think we suck.
