Jason Kander: Politics, PTSD, & Serving our Vets

After serving as an intelligence officer during the war in Afghanistan, Jason Kander returned home and launched a political career where he almost ran for President of the United States.

But when he unexpectedly dropped out of politics to go face-to-face against his PTSD and depression, a new mission began. Kander founded the Afghan Rescue Project, an initiative that successfully rescued 383 Afghan collaborators and their family members left behind after the 2021 American withdrawal.

Now serving as president of the Veterans Community Project, Kander is on a lifelong crusade to help veterans overcome their own issues with PTSD, depression and homelessness. His is an inspiring story.
