Sharing the legacy of Mark Forester and providing scholarships to Haleyville High School seniors.
About us
The Mark Forester Foundation has been established to honor an American hero, SrA Mark Andrew Forester. Our priority is to provide scholarships to Haleyville High School students who exemplify patriotism, selflessness, commitment, faith, and determination, which were the basis of Mark’s life. They were also traits that he carried forth until his final breath on the battlefield. We are a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization. The city of Haleyville and the school system have been very supportive to our family since Mark’s death and we want to give back to our home town. We also want students to understand that freedom does not come without a price. We take awarding this scholarship very seriously.

Really appreciate this recent book review of Mark's biography; "After finishing the book, there is a word in Portuguese (saudade) that came to mind. It is hard to translate into English as to what it means or conveys. But it is defined as An emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent something or someone. This book is one that will stay with me for a very long time." You can purchase "My Brother in Arms" anywhere books are sold. An Amazon link is below: https://a.co/d/2cyH5PT

It's always good to find these pics of Mark and his team while down range. Mark's antennas easily stand out. This is from June 30, 2010, Afghanistan. Warrior taking care of business for the rest of us here. Happy Independence Day! If anyone has background on this, please share. #cct #jtac #oda #afsoc #combatcontrol

Retired Apache pilot Matthew Longanacre joined me in this episode of Patriot to the Core podcast. Matthew flew several missions with Mark being the voice on the ground. He shares his first time meeting Mark, how he became more than a voice on a radio, and what he saw during the battle where Mark gave his life, along with Calvin Harrison. Please have a blessed and reflective Memorial Day! https://lnkd.in/gyibmhsE
