Retired and active duty service members have been contacting Wilson nonstop, desperate for any help getting Afghans who served alongside U.S troops out of the country. By Tuesday morning, Wilson said she had a list of 57 names.
In her current role, Wilson has spent a decade building a community of veterans that’s close-knit and widespread. So, when she posted a message on Facebook on Monday about how she was compiling lists of Afghans for extraction, many took notice.
