Long post, but worth it.......
I am proud to share some exciting news with each of you!! A donor has come forward to ensure that our Aggie heroes are never forgotten in Aggieland, and that future generations of cadets are supported as they pursue their educational goals.
A plan has been established through an estate gift to endow a Sul Ross scholarship in the name of each of the Aggies who have been lost while in service to our country since September 11, 2001. Additionally, scholarships are also planned for the 2 Aggies who we lost in the terrorist attacks in New York and at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. (That is one endowed scholarship for each of the 32 Aggies we have lost while in military service, and 3 civilian Aggies)
We will continue to hold our 'Running with Roy Memorial 5k/10k' and 'Fore Our Heroes Memorial golf tournament' events each year to fully fund the 'LTC Roy Tisdale Memorial Cadet Lounge' in the Buzbee Center and for additional scholarship funds after that project is fully funded.
It has been important to me that we honor all our Aggie heroes. I know that my friend, LTC Roy Tisdale '92, would not have wanted to be singled out from the list of equally deserving Aggies whom we have lost, and this planned gift allows each of them to be honored and remembered in Aggieland.
Thanks so much to each of you for your continued support of our efforts!! Much love from Aggieland!!!!
