“THE ROGUE” is inspired in part by people who have sacrificed greatly during the ‘War on Terror'. As such, we choose to have a non-profit side to this production. We encourage donations to the "War Kids Relief" Program, managed by our friend U.S. Army Captain Jon Powers, which helps children recover from war. |

U.S. Army Captain Jonathan Powers spent 14 months serving in Iraq, just after major combat concluded, and as the first uprising of the insurgency took place. Powers' experiences while serving there were heartbreaking, as he patrolled neighborhoods in Baghdad and witnessed first-hand the devastation that war brings to a country.
Powers is currently raising money and building corporate sponsorships in order to develop a final program that will reach thousands of children who have been orphaned or abandoned as a result of the war in Iraq.
Upon returning from Iraq and completing the active duty component of his military obligation, Powers joined a six-week publicity tour for the documentary film Gunner Palace - a film in which he appeared that explored the day-to-day lives and experiences of those in his battalion. While on the Gunner Palace tour, Capt. Powers also joined screenings on Capitol Hill, where he briefed members of the House about his experiences. Additionally, he has served as a media spokesperson for the documentary, appearing on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and MTV, as well as in the Washington Post, New York Times , USA Today and the Los Angeles Times.
