"Always Faithful", tells the story of Marine Major Tom Schueman and his friend, Afghan interpreter Zainullah “Zak” Zaki, discussing their parallel lives, converging paths, and unbreakable bond in the face of overwhelming danger, culminating in Zak and his family’s harrowing escape from Kabul. Tom talks about joining the Marines and the bond that developed with Zak. He then discusses the failure to get interpreters and families - who supported the USA effort - out of Afghanistan, despite promises to do so. Tom talks with host Jim Fausone about the efforts to get Zak and his family to Texas where they had relatives.
