About the Race
- Inspiration: It began with Lt Col Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq.
- Realization: An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.
- Emotional Moment: As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board.
- Impact: Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Folds of Honor.
Mission of Folds of Honor
- Scholarships: Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled military and first responders.
- Commitment: On our watch, those who protect our freedoms and our families will know they are not forgotten.
