Success Through Support
Special Operations Warrior Foundation has given me the opportunities that my dad would have wanted me to have. They have provided me with the tools to be successful, both in school and in life. They are an organization that I trust and believe in wholeheartedly. I believe the staff of SOWF truly cares about each child, and they make it their mission to help us in any way they can.
If it wasn't for Special Operations Warrior Foundation I wouldn't be the professional teacher that I am today. Every success that I made and continue to make in my life SOWF will be there at the top of the list for all of the thanks and recognition that they deserve for helping me carve my future.
My husband was killed in action when our daughters were 6 and 7. Special Operations Warrior Foundation was there from the beginning, offering support and guidance. Knowing that the foundation is always there, that you have our backs, and that we aren't a number to you is something we cherish and don't take for granted. We are part of the SOWF family. You know our names and you know our story. Thank you for everything!!!
When my family received the news [from Special Operations Warrior Foundation] it was bittersweet moment where we celebrated the incredible opportunity that was given to my sister and I, thanks to my father's dedication to the service. I cannot begin to express my gratitude knowing throughout the college admissions process, that the financial burden of college was no longer on our family. I am forever thankful for all the incredible things SOWF does for military personnel and their families. This fall, I am proud to be attending my dream school, the University of Chicago, because of all the foundation does to honor those who have served.
