SOWF will be hosting our fifth annual Join Forces: Texas Style major and festive fundraising dinner, scheduled to be held on Saturday, October 25th at the Omni Hotel Dallas.
All proceeds will benefit Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) – SOWF provides full educations and additional educational opportunities “cradle to career” (preschool through college), for the surviving children of Special Operations Forces lost in the line of duty as well as children of all Medal of Honor Recipients. Expanded eligibility includes the children of active-duty Special Operations Personnel who have lost a spouse, as well.
MORE INFORMATION TO COME.
In 1980, at a remote airstrip known as DESERT ONE, a battlefield promise was made to 17 American children. Our founding mission, OPERATION EAGLE CLAW, was a rescue attempt of those 52 American hostages in Iran, which left behind 8 Special Operations Forces.
Five Airmen and three Marines made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving behind 17 children.
In the aftermath of this tragedy, an enduring battlefield promise was made by the surviving service members to provide full education opportunities to the surviving children of those lost in the line of duty, then and in the future. Hence, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation was born.
In celebration of our 45th anniversary, we will honor our past and look forward to our future together.
