Covenant for Forgotten Warriors was founded in May 2024 by David Burger — a veteran advocate, investigative journalist, and founder of True Signal Media — after years of personally supporting one of America's most overlooked cases of government abandonment.

Kelvin Blas is a U.S. Army veteran who has been stranded in Togo, West Africa for more than six years. Not because he broke any laws. Not because he chose to stay. But because a system that was supposed to protect him failed at every level — and then went quiet.

David spent years fighting for Kelvin personally before realizing that what Blas needed wasn't just one person in his corner. He needed an organization with the infrastructure, legal standing, and sustained capacity to force accountability. CFW was built to be that organization.

But Kelvin Blas is not the only one.

CFW fights for every American abandoned by their government — veterans lost in bureaucratic labyrinths, whistleblowers punished for exposing the truth, journalists who disappeared after getting too close, and public servants discarded when they became inconvenient. The cases are different. The failure is the same.

We fight through Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIA) that force agencies to produce documents they'd rather keep hidden. We pursue legal advocacy and formal appeals when agencies obstruct, delay, or deny. We document everything — building evidentiary records that hold institutions accountable and ensure the forgotten are never truly erased. And we tell the stories that power brokers hope will die in silence.

CFW operates on a simple covenant: no American who served this country — in uniform or otherwise — gets left behind without a fight. We didn't start this organization because it was easy. We started it because someone had to.
