Our Team
Director Johnny Rogers
I am an Air Force Veteran who was using his GI bill benefits when the invasion of Ukraine started. July 2021, I returned from a civilian contract supporting the Army in Afghanistan for 479 days and I have learned a great deal about what it takes to support operations in adverse conditions. Aircraft Structural Maintenance is my profession and I also have logistical and leadership experience. When I was on leave from Afghanistan, before Covid, I went to Kyiv several times and in 2019 I met my best friend Anna there. Anna has been instrumental in keeping my morale high when I was in a war zone, now I can help her and her people out. I fully believe in top-down positive leadership and work culture of unity and realistic compensation. I will never ask anyone to do anything that I would not do myself and you will not see me buying a yacht or anything. I can appreciate a good DFAC meal so, hopefully, I can earn the trust of our donors and maintain that trust by demonstrating my professional integrity. I started this Non-profit to help refugees and I hope we can help veterans out as well by providing a definitive mission, maybe we can all find a new sense of meaning. We have served Ukraine by operating a US 501(c)3 and also a Ukrainian Registered Charity. We have helped tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians and military over the past four years by operating two charities but we are now only focused on the Ukrainian Registered Charity and this means supporting drone operations. We support drone production, maintanence, and active drone operations. I am also joining an active drone unit here in Ukraine. I have volunteered to help drone units through the years of volunteering but I have not signed a military contract yet. I have now signed a contract and will be actively defending Ukraine.
