Army Scholarship Fund - Jeff Gault

Dear Classmates,

This Memorial Day, as you pause to consider the sacrifices of our nation's all volunteer force of today's and yesterday's soldiers, I ask that you remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to our country - to include Lieutenant Scott Love, and the families they left behind.  It is often difficult to know how to properly say "Thank You" to those who have given the last full measure. The Army Scholarship Foundation provides a way for us to honor our nation's soldiers for their sacrifices.  By making a tax deductible donation, you can thank and honor soldiers and their families by assisting us in providing scholarship funds to the family members of our soldiers who often otherwise could not afford to go to college. 

 

There is no better way to honor our soldiers and especially their famiiles by offering them the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams. 

 

Please consider investing in the sons and daughters of our soldiers and the spouses of our enlisted soldiers, in honoring soldiers by helping their families.  You can make a tax deductible donation to the Army Scholarship Foundation at 11700 Preston Road, Suite 660-301, Dallas, Texas 75230 or on line at www.ArmyScholarshipFoundation.org.

 

Thank you so much,

Jeff Gault

2012 NCEA Colorado Trail Hike Pledge

We are still short of our class goal to fund the National Conference on Ethics in America in perpetuity, so, in addition to continuing our campaign for direct and corporate donations, Classmates (USMA 1970 Cadet Company E2) Whit Wise and Dave Schroeder have decided to hike the Colorado Trail (from June 17 through July 26, 2012), which runs from Waterton Canyon just west of Denver across the mountains and ends in Southwest Colorado at the town of Durango. It is almost 486 miles long and runs as high as 13300 feet in elevation. They also plan to hike to the top of one or two 14000 foot peaks which lie near the trail. 4 E-2 members have pledged up to a dollar per mile for the total miles completed by Whit and Dave, meaning a commitment of up to $1000 if (actually, when) they both complete the hike. Injuries, accidents, illness, weather problems, lack of commitment and possibly wild animals are the only things standing in their way. We see this as a win/win for our NCEA Fund Drive by having additional Class members pledge one dollar (or more) per mile travelled, up to a combined maximum of 1000 miles. Please consider signing this pledge form to contribute to the ongoing USMA 1970 NCEA Fund Raising Campaign
