It all began with Lieutenant Col. Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.

Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Folds of Honor. Since 2007, they’ve provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military. And now, their mission expands to the families of America’s first responders.

Since its birth, Folds of Honor has helped over 44,000 military and first responder families with nearly $200,000,000 in life changing scholarships.

Join us for a very special episode of Path to Abundant Living, where we discuss Folds of Honor, "going before you're ready," and some of the pivotal life experiences Dan Rooney has faced along his path.
