Retired Marine trying to help Afghan translator immigrate to U.S. (http://www.ky3.com/news/local/retired-marine-trying-to-help-afghan-translator-immigrate-to-us/21048998_35243902)

NIXA, Mo. - The kitchen table at the Nixa home of Aaron and Marion Fleming is more like a situation room. It is kind of central command for a personal and urgent mission.
Aaron is a retired Marine, and he is trying to rescue an Afghani man, Sami Kazikhani, and his family.
Aaron retired from the Marines earlier this year after a decade of service because of combat related injuries from an IED.
Sami continued serving the US mission in Afghanistan, until the Taliban began trying to assassinate him.
Sami, his wife Yasmiin, and their baby Roxanne fled to Turkey as refugees and they have since been swept up in Europe's refugee crisis along with many Syrian refugees.
"I don't think we're able to sleep much now because we really need to get them through Hungary, and I can speak for both of us and say that's what we're scared of," says Marion.
The Flemings fear Sami's family could be deported back to Afghanistan where he could be assassinated by terrorists.
Aaron credits Sami with helping his unit return to the U.S. alive, "He was a major player in getting us all out of there alive, just as much as any of the Marines were."
