Project Dynamo is a non-profit helping bring Americans home from Ukraine. Project Dynamo was cofounded by combat veteran Bryan Stern. He formed Dynamo in the middle of the U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan in August. In addition to sending buses to the border, Stern was able to get some people onto commercial flights before the Russian attack. “If an American asks me for help,” Stern said, “I say, ‘Yes.’”
