To Succeed in Life, You Just Need a (2nd) Chance and Be Willing to Cut Grass with a Machete
In 1986, I stood at a crossroads, a young man full of ambition and energy, eager to prove myself, get out of the town and earn some money for college. That led me to an Army recruiter and the idea that I wanted to do the hard thing, the adventurous thing, and so I asked for the chance to tryout to be a US Army Ranger in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

★ What We Do ★

Our mission is driven by a desire to honor the sacrifice made in service to our country by providing “cradle to career” educational support to children of fallen Special Operations Personnel and spouses as well as all Medal of Honor Recipients. From a “battlefield promise” made in 1980, the SOWF program has grown to include immediate financial support to severely wounded, injured, and ill Special Operators. By providing this support, SOWF aims to help these families build brighter futures despite the challenges they face due to the loss of a loved one.
