American Legacy Scholarship Fund - Although he didn't have children before he deployed to Iraq, Paul always imagined having a "fire team" of his own some day with little guys running around the house. - The American Legion runs this scholarship fund for the children of servicemen and women who have been killed in the line of duty since September 11th, 2001.

NEPA Chapter of AIA Scholarship Fund - Karp studied architecture in college. Some of his work is actually visible in King of Prussia. He spent a lot of his extra time designing the dream home he planned to build with his wife Amanda upon return from the war. - This scholarship fund is available to college bound students who show promise in the architectural field. for more information visit http://www2.luzfdn.org/www/index2.html and scroll down to the listing for it (listed alphabetically.)
Joseph Briseno Jr. & Family - Joseph Briseno Jr. was shot in the back of the head at point-blank range in a Baghdad marketplace. His spinal cord was shattered, and cardiac arrests stole his vision and damaged his brain. He is one of the most severely injured soldiers — some think the most injured soldier — to survive.
