Our veteran-led board shapes the direction of the Foundation and ensures that the focus of all initiatives are tied back to the mission of No One Left Behind Foundation.

Jim Crawford
Executive Director

jim@nolb.org

Retired Central Florida Rancher Jim Crawford is the guiding force behind the No One Left Behind Foundation.  Upon returning from Vietnam in 1967, where he served with the Army’s 27th Combat Engineer Battalion, Crawford began his 43-year career as a Florida cattleman, leading operations for some of the largest ranches in Florida.  His personal experiences upon returning from war shaped the vision of the organization, and provided inspiration in this next chapter of his life as a way to give back to those returning from today’s conflicts.  Crawford’s passion for hunting, fishing, and recreational activities have helped in his recovery, and he now passes that passion on to our current retuning service members battling similar scars.

Noah Galloway

A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Sergeant Noah Galloway was assigned to the 1st of the 502nd Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Just three months in to his second tour of duty, Galloway lost his left arm (above the elbow) and left leg (above the knee) in an Improvised Explosive Device attack. After a long stint in recovery and rehabilitation, Galloway did what many disabled veterans do, became withdrawn, out of shape and depressed. The former fitness fanatic and hyper competitive athlete found his life spiraling downward. Late one night, he took a long look in the mirror and realized there was more to his life than the injuries. From that point, Galloway set a goal to get back in shape, be healthier, and inspire others. He now resides in Alabaster, Alabama and is employed as a personal trainer and motivational speaker.
