Former Marine Sergeant Aaron Fleming is on one more mission to get Afghani interpreter Sami Kazikhani and his family a special visa to get them into the United States.

 

After both Fleming and Kazikhani fought the Taliban in Afghanistan, and after Fleming went back to the United States, Kazikhani stayed in Kabul. The Taliban learned that Kazikhani had helped the Marines and put a price on his head. Kazikhani, his wife, and their 10-month-old daughter escaped to Turkey but could not stay and continued on to Greece. During their dangerous trek previously documented by the Washington Free Beacon, the family got swept up in the rush of refugees coming in from Syria.

 

The Kazikhani family had little food and slept on train tracks but finally made it to Germany. Now, Fleming is working on getting the family a special visa to come to come to the U.S.

 

“He served the United States and the U.S. Marine Corps just as much as any other Marine has,” Fleming said.
