“Children of Fallen Patriots has aided me immensely in my pursuit of a college degree. Thanks to Fallen Patriots, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from a great university, Southern Methodist University. Without their help, I would not have been able to achieve this goal of mine. Not only am I grateful for the financial aid that Children of Fallen Patriots has provided, but the support they have shown my family and I in how they honor my father’s sacrifice. The Foundation has connected me with other children of fallen soldiers and has shown me so much kindness and love. They have made an immensely positive difference in my life and I know they are doing the same for so many others.”
- Boston Gilbert, Son of U.S. Air Force Major Troy Gilbert
