JOIN FORCES: HONORING THE FALLEN - Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Let us remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

On Memorial Day, we honor and remember the service members, including fallen Medal of Honor Recipients, who over the years, made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Above lies such a hero, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel William Schroeder, who lost his life in 2016 while assigned to the 342nd Training Squadron. Deeply grieving is surviving spouse, Abigail, along with their two sons, Mason and Noah.
