And it eventually evolved into the Bull Simons Scholarship Fund, I think it was called.
Bull Simons, legendary SF, led the Sante Raid.
I mean, his accolades go on and on.
And now has become the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Not Wounded Warrior.
A lot of people that aren't associated with the community confuse the two, but it's Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
It's specialops.org is the website.
All right.
And here's the charter, which I don't know how you could find a more noble cause than this.
Is that...
the children of every fallen special operator or people who were supporting special ops missions.
So let's say you got operators on the ground and they got a fixed wing air support and the crew goes in, those kids would be covered because they're on this mission.
Now, it has to go through a process to validate that this was part of a special operations mission.
And children of Medal of Honor recipients
and now severely wounded.
Because a lot of the severely wounded, I mean, yeah, they're going to get disability, but there's a lot of gaps still for some of them.
So they get financial support as well.
Yeah, so the support is to send the children of these people who qualify or these families who qualify
to school from cradle to career, meaning if you're a three-year-old and you have special needs and you need a tutor, that qualifies, 100% funded.
All you gotta do is send in the bills, as long as your fallen parent was within the special office community or in support of it.
