A Solemn Reminder

Dear Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation Family,

Like you, my heart is heavy with the news that more than a dozen Marines and other servicemembers were killed and wounded in the Kabul attack this week. Our deepest condolences and prayers are with their families during this time.

These challenging weeks have been a solemn reminder of the many sacrifices we ask our Nation’s Marines and servicemembers to make on behalf of us all. While Americans have enjoyed security at home over the last twenty years, the war in Afghanistan has remained a constant presence in the lives of Marines and their families. Now, our Nation asks them to take on an extraordinary challenge once again.

I ask that you keep these brave Marines in your thoughts and prayers as they push on with this important mission. God Bless our Nation and the citizens that serve the same.

Sincerely,

General Robert B. Neller USMC (Ret.)
Chairman
Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation

If You Can, You Must Scholarship Initiative

More than 14 years ago, Dakota Meyer, a U.S. Marine serving in the War in Afghanistan, risked his life to bravely save the lives of U.S. and Afghan forces in the Battle of Ganjgal. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the first living Marine in more than forty years to receive the award. Since leaving active duty, Dakota has embraced opportunities for continued service. Through his partnership with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, the “If You Can, You Must” Scholarship will provide educational scholarships to the children of Marines and inspire the future leaders of America.
