About the Folds of Honor
THE MISSION
HONOR THEIR SACRIFICE.
EDUCATE THEIR LEGACY.
Founded in 2007 by Lt Col Dan Rooney, the Folds of Honor has carried forth one singular, noble mission. From our humble beginnings to now, we have honored the sacrifice of those who serve by educating their legacy.
It began with Lt Col Rooney's flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. 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. As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt Col Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob.
Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life – through the Folds of Honor – to provide scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. Jacob Bucklin became the first Folds of Honor scholarship recipient in 2007. Since then, the Folds of Honor has proudly awarded over 30,000 educational scholarships.
