As a potential Air Force Officer, I would like to honor those who came before me in defending this great nation. This organization allowed me to honor those who have gone missing in action or died in combat. By helping to raise funds for a scholarship for children of the wounded it gives me the opportunity to serve those who came before me and to honor their legacy.”

This organization works hard to ensure that the service men and women who never returned are never forgotten, and to be a part of it, is an honor. I was deeply moved by the stories of the families of the service men and women that sacrificed everything for their country, and being part of this organization has given me an opportunity to honor their sacrifice. I have had the privilege of being part of this organization for a semester, and plan to continue for as long as I can.”
