Washington veteran helps Afghan women, children escape Taliban rule
A U.S. veteran who fought and worked with Afghan allies is working to evacuate those now fearing for their own lives under Taliban rule.
In an office space in Issaquah on Sunday afternoon, combat veteran Matthew Griffin is on a mission.
“I’m telling you, we feel like we’re up against the clock with these teachers and educators, and we’re not wrong on these calls. We are up against the clock with these people,” Griffin said.
Griffin is an Army Ranger who served three tours in Afghanistan, but he found his calling outside the military. For the better part of two decades, he’s worked with nonprofits that help educate young Afghan women.
