“My mother and father grew up in Mexico, but I was born in California at Camp Pendleton. I was about five when my father, Sergeant Edgar Sanchez USMC, returned home from his service in Iraq. My father’s career as a hydraulics mechanic inspired me to want to study Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University. My scholastic research is focused on the customization of 3D-printed prosthetics. I also helped design drone attachments to assist with reforestation. As a first-generation college student, support from the MCSF helped make college a reality. I feel the best way I can show my gratitude is to use my skills to help engineer a better world for others.”

Devotion is an aerial war epic based on the bestselling book. This powerful film tells the inspirational story of Jesse Brown, the first Black aviator in Navy history, and his fellow fighter pilot and friend, Tom Hudner. Their heroic sacrifices in the Korean War would ultimately make them the Navy's most celebrated wingmen. In honor of Jesse and Tom’s legacy, proceeds from the film Devotion will support the MCSF and the Brown Hudner Navy Scholarship Foundation, which will provide scholarships to the children of their fellow Navy Sailors.
