WHO WE SERVE

THE CHILDREN BEHIND THE UNIFORM

When a servicemember makes the ultimate sacrifice,
their legacy lives on in their children.

 

We stand beside these children, ready to provide college or trade school scholarships,
educational assistance, and career support their fallen parent would have wanted for them.

WHO QUALIFIES

We serve dependent children—biological, adopted, or stepchildren—of servicemembers who lost their lives in the line of duty. This includes:

All branches

of the United States military

ALL COMPONENTS -

Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard

Deaths in combat, training, illness, suicide, or other service-related causes

Children living anywhere in the U.S. or overseas

WHY THIS MATTERS

Government programs help—but they don’t cover everything.

The average funding gap for each child is $25,000. Without support, that gap can mean missed opportunities, delayed graduations, or dreams deferred.
