It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it. Aziz was
more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux
during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate,
brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And
then he needed Chad to save his. When President Joe Biden announced
in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty
withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and
his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the
rescue team he'd pulled together began to go to work, they became
aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and
children--facing persecution or death if they were not saved from
the Taliban's terrorist regime. Chad began leading the charge that
would go on to rescue 17,000 evacuees within a few short
weeks--12,000 of them within the first ten days. This gripping
account of two heroes and a daring mission puts human hearts and
names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments
in our history, giving you a closer look at: The resilience of
Afghanistan and its people Chad's direct interactions with the
Taliban The twenty-year war that took place under four presidents
Saving Aziz is a story of war and rescue. It is a story of a
mission accomplished and work still to be done. It is a story of
how looking into a stranger's eyes breaks down prejudice and
apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving
one another. Praise for Saving Aziz: "Saving Aziz is the story of
two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged
through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures
the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz
and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others." --Tim
Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces,
Sniper, UFC Fighter, Founder of Sheepdog Response, and Co-Founder
of Save Our Allies

Robichaux as he shares glimpses into the life of special

coming home and struggling with PTSD, a near divorce, and almost
becoming another veteran suicide statistic. Each chapter shares

Fight for Us takes couples on an inspiring journey into the
challenges of battling for their marriage, through gut-wrenching
times of despair, and then finally to the victory of a renewed
relationship grounded in Jesus. Fight for Us delivers a compelling
marriage challenge of "five rounds" that teach readers how to
develop the never-give-up, never-quit mentality every relationship
needs in order to combat the enemy's constant attacks. Utilizing
narrative elements from the real-life story of Chad and Kathy
Robichaux, readers will learn how Chad's deployments to Afghanistan
as a Marine--and subsequent career as an MMA fighter--allowed him
to disengage from his emotions, his marriage, and his children.
Then, when his crippling PTSD brought him to brink of suicide,
Kathy's pastor taught him the "five rounds" of fighting that are
necessary in the battle for any marriage: Believe that God loves
you and has a purpose for your life. Take responsibility for your
actions. Accept that you can't change the evils that you've
encountered. Access God's power. Put yourself second. At the end of
the rounds, readers will discover God's design for marriage, which
saved Chad and Kathy's relationship. Today, they aim to pay it
forward and share what they've learned with other couples. Fight
for Us features application sections, discussion prompts,
affirmations, and Bible verses, all designed to help readers apply
the book's key marriage principles.
