Since its inception, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people that were trapped in Afghanistan and is now helping in Ukraine.

Beyond his military career, Robichaux has dedicated himself to safeguarding the nation as a special agent with the US Federal Air Marshal Service and the US State Department as a Surveillance Detection Senior Program Manager.
