Jason Kander is the author of two New York Times bestselling books, Outside the Wire: Ten Lessons I’ve Learned in Everyday Courage, and Invisible Storm: A Soldier’s Memoir of Politics and PTSD, as well as a children’s book, Courage Is, which he co-authored with his son, True.  He is currently the President of National Expansion at Veterans Community Project, a non-profit dedicated to fighting veteran suicide and homelessness.

To date, the organization has played a crucial role in the successful evacuation of more than 2,000 at-risk Afghan men, women, and children.
