Testimonials
"The morning of April 21st, 1989, my dad, Colonel James “Nick” Rowe - a man who had defied the Viet Cong and escaped after five years, a man who taught others how to survive similar experiences - had been killed by terrorists in the Philippines.
There was never a question of if my brother and I would go to college. The question we had was where we were going to college. Mom had a more important question and that was how we were going to pay for college. A friend from the Special Operations community recommended the Warrior Foundation. It was amazing to see the relief on my mother’s face as a major question that kept her up at night had been answered. Between an academic scholarship and the incredible generosity of donors to the Warrior Foundation, I graduated from Campbell University with a BA in Government/Political Science DEBT FREE. These two words have allowed me a future unencumbered by college debt. "
Alex along with so many educators around the country is adapting to distance learning and trying to equip his students with the resources to continue their education from home. At the same time, Alex greatly misses his students and cannot wait to get back in the classroom.
"I would not be where I am today without the financial assistance, guidance and encouragement from Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Thank you for every single dollar, follow-up email, and birthday card ever sent for me and my family; I am forever grateful.
The support Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the donors provided my family the opportunity to accomplish an educational achievement that I would most likely wouldn’t have been able to attempt alone."
“Special Operations Warrior Foundation has been with my family and I since the death of my father, providing guidance, support and encouragement the whole way. Then as I transitioned to a student, they made it possible for me to study and focus on my craft.
While receiving support from the SOWF, I was able to earn my bachelor’s degree. Without their support, I would not have been able to accomplish such a task. That degree has helped with not only my professional life, but also my presentation as a person.
Supporting an organization like SOWF is one to consider. They really are a family of the people they support because they care so much and are there to make sure they go and stay on a successful path. There's no organization like SOWF.”
