This is the team that has worked around the clock for the past 10 days in the Middle East. The 12 of us, plus 2 social workers who just arrived to help the refugees, have evacuated 8,911 refugees into our host country plus 3,000 more elsewhere to assist the state department. /1 This is one of the most impressive groups of men I have ever worked with. Most of us had never met prior to this mission.

@ChadRobo and @sarah_verardo asked @TimKennedyMMA and me to go and we were on a plane within 48 hours. We had no idea what we were walking into. /2
