“Our mission is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. We are dedicated to serving the families of service members from all branches of the armed forces who have died as a result of combat casualties, military training accidents, service related illnesses, suicide, as well as other duty-related deaths as ruled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. We aim to bridge the gap in funding between the VA (and/or other resources) and the total cost of undergraduate college education. The vision of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation is to ensure that every child of a fallen patriot receives all necessary college funding. - We believe a college education is the single most important gift we can give these children. - We believe this is an important investment in the future of America. - We believe this is one of the best ways we can honor those who died defending our country.”
