10-Year Anniversary
Friendship, Honor, and Sacrifice
Our story began a decade ago when friends and West Point classmates united to honor their fallen comrades and all the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our nation. Together, they founded The Folded Flag Foundation.
“Memorial Day is a special day set aside for us to remember and honor those who gave their lives defending our country. The children and spouses of these fallen heroes live with this sacrifice and memory every day,” said Bill Foley, Founder of The Folded Flag Foundation. “This day also marks the 10-year anniversary of The Folded Flag Foundation. From the beginning, the mission of this organization has been to honor the legacy of our nation’s heroes by supporting their families. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our donors whose donations honor the legacy of these mothers, fathers, husbands and wives who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.”
For the past 10 years, we have been committed to honoring the legacy of our nation’s heroes and supporting their families. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in providing scholarships, financial assistance, and vital support services to the loved ones of fallen service members.
