... And whoever saves a life is as though he has saved all mankind.
- The Quran

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

"At the core of each organization is an individual with an idea.
Behind every successful man stands a woman with an idea. Behind every noble idea is one kind person or two. Awareness Ties is that noble idea of Jack and Allié. Jack is just a 'Navy guy' (and I, Army strong) but Allié is stronger. A powerful voice, a leader, a mentor, a partner, a mother, a friend and a sister.
August 2021, when Afghanistan fell into the hands of the terrorists, my god-daughter did not reach out to me, even though I am a trained US Army NCO with combat deployments, but instead called Allie to help rescue her to safety. Together with Jack, Allié was successful and she did just that—saved a girl she had never met before from the clutches of the Taliban.
That is Allié! I support Allié and Jack in their noble cause to bring awareness thru Awareness Ties because they bring change, give love, bring meaningful impact and because they save lives. Together, we will no longer ask for permission to change the world.
Finally, I support Awareness Ties because I love Forest (their 3-year-old)."
