T This scholarship is truly a blessing for me and my family and it helps us out so much. With two other siblings in college this really helps out with our financial situation. It gives me a chance to pursue my goals at Michigan State next year. To me this is an incredible honor. To be thought of as a leader and to receive the Colonel Charles L. Schmidt Leadership is amazing. Thank you so much for this opportunity to strive for success at Michigan State.

1. Lara E, Bacon It is hard to express how thankful I am to receive this scholarship.

Brian B. Baughman Thanks so much to the 11th Armored Cavalry's Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia for selecting me to be one of the scholarship recipients. I would also like to thank all those that have donated to the 11th ACVVC making these generous scholarship awards possible. Your donation is not wasted, but used with frugality and humility. At the age of 30, my wife and I both decided to leave a career of sales and return to school in order to pursue new careers in nursing. This has required that we cut our costs and make numerous sacrifices over the past 3 years. My spouse will graduate from her nursing program in December. I have completed an Associate's degree, required prerequisites, and am now in the application process to start a nursing program in January. My long-term educational goal includes a Master's Degree Program to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I am honored to be the son of an 11th ACVVC member, and I also have two sons (ages 3 & 6) who are grateful and proud 11thACVVC grandchildren. Thank you for your service and support. Brian B. Baughman, is the son of William R. Baughman, K Troop, 68. This scholarship awarded in honor of: John A. Marr, Air Cavalry Troop, (KIA 5/9/1970) |

Katrina A. Herweh Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I am very honored to have been awarded the scholarship. I am putting it to good use as I study social work at Xavier University. By becoming a social worker I hope to let the fallen soldiers of the 11th ACVVC live on and honor them for their love and dedication to this country. Without this scholarship I would not be able to achieve my life’s goal of helping others as easily. It is very struggling already to maintain great grades while working but I will do so with admiration of the courage and perseverance they all had while in service. I am much appreciative and honored to have been awarded this great scholarship among such deserving individuals. This reminds me that I am truly blessed and I cannot be ever more grateful.

Timothy Rustenberg My family and I would like to thank the 11thACVVC for the scholarship you have awarded me and allowing my family and I to attend the Indianapolis reunion where I got to talk to some of my father’s friends. The funds will go a long way in helping pay for my Nursing degree. Upon graduation I will combine my 16 years of being a Paramedic and my degree to help many of the people in my surrounding community, local hospitals and the State of Illinois to start a community Paramedicine program. This program will bridge the gaps of community health systems, Emergency Medical Systems, and hospitals so at risk patients can find other and better ways to receive health care. Thank you once again for assisting me in achieving my goal in helping those in need. Timothy Rustenberg is the son of Homer Rustenberg, How 3/11, 70-71. KIA dedication to Everett A.

Maria Stabler When I was asked what this scholarship means to me I pondered several things, the honor of being chosen; the ability to further my education, the sacrifices made by our fore fathers that have allowed us an education. When our fathers and grandfathers stood and fought in the trenches of war they could never fathom what their sacrifices would eventually foster. They fought for freedom. The freedom not only to live as we chose, but to better ourselves with a more educated America. Knowledge is power and we are empowering ourselves to bring America back to its former glory and to make sure their sacrifices were not in vein. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all, Maria Stabler is the daughter of Myron Stabler, G Troop, 71-72, KIA dedication to Robert Huster, L Troop, (KIA: 4/8/67) |

Hayley Webb Thank you for awarding me this scholarship in honor of Willis N. Andrews. This award has been by far the most generous one I have received. I would like to thank all the members of the 11th Armored Cavalry who have continued to serve our country and have made this scholarship possible. This scholarship has made me appreciate how lucky I am to be able to go to college when I think of all the young men around my age going off to war in Vietnam instead of attending college. I most greatly honor Willis N. Andrews who sacrificed his life on April 17th, 1971 for the benefit of our country. My heart goes out to his family who, because of his heroism, only had him for a short twenty four years. Hayley Webb, is the daughter of Amos Webb, G Troop, 70-71, KIA dedication to Willis N. Andrews, F Troop, (KIA: 4/17/71) |
