Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Here is an email I recieved from the SOWF, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.  This is a great organization, that is doing great work for the children of those that have served and given their lives for our country.  I believe in the work that SOWF is doing and I think it is important to support those who serve our country.  Take time to read thier message, and remember them.  This is a great organization.




On behalf of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, I wish to extend my sincere thank you for your support of the foundation and the Restoring Honor Rally being held 8/28. No matter how many times we say it, we cannot thank you enough.



America's military Special Operations forces are bearing the brunt of the war. Although they go into harm's way voluntarily, the least we can do as caring Americans is to always remember their sacrifices and the families they leave behind.



Higher casualties are increasing the need for our family assistance programs. We now support 127 surviving children with full college scholarships -- tuition, books, fees, room, board and expenses -- and there are another 500 children who have not yet entered college.



In the past three years, we provided over $1 million in support to our wounded warriors. What better way is there to support our troops?



Below is a portion of a letter from one of our families that we'd like to share with you..





How the Special Operations Warrior Foundation Has Helped Our Family



My fiance' Sheri, has a 25 year old son, Fletcher, whose father was killed during a training exercise while aboard a U.S. Army helicopter. Fletcher was only 8 years old when he lost his father, MSgt. Harvey Moore, an accomplished Army Ranger, a Ranger's Ranger if you will. Fletcher's story is not unlike the many children of special warriors that the SOWF has paid to educate over the years. Their work is a gift from God to so many.





Where this story takes a turn is the persistence and dedication of the people at the SOWF. Fletcher's first attempt at college did not go as hoped. He made the same sort of mistakes that we all make when we are young. Hopefully we learn and move forward. Fletcher did just that. Had the SOWF not given him a chance to improve his college performance, all of the assistance may have well been cut off. But no, they made him a deal. Get back on track at a local community college and we will continue to support you. He held up his end of the deal, and so did the SOWF.





This past Spring, Fletch graduated from Armstrong Atlantic University in Savannah with a bachelor of science degree in Biology. Next month, Fletch starts his first year of medical school. Because of the prayers of his mother, the commitment of the SOWF, and most importantly the commitment of Fletcher himself to turn it all around, we have yet another reason to celebrate all that is GOOD about America.
