Abby Cox Receiving this scholarship is an immense honor. Accepting scholarship funds from a group of people who served is very humbling. Growing up hearing stories from my grandfather who served in Vietnam, interviewing him for a veteran's project, and watching him come home from the Honor Flight has given me a very deep appreciation for those who have served. My grandfather also came from poverty, and me being able to receive such a large amount of money because of him feels like a full circle moment to me. I am beyond grateful for receiving this money and being able to attend college, for every person who has made this scholarship possible, and for every person who is being honored with this scholarship. Words cannot express the emotions that come from thinking about the hundreds of stories and lives that have united to create this fund. Thank you. Abby Cox, granddaughter of Daniel Cox, HHT 1/11, 1970-1971 This scholarship awarded in honor of Stuart Harold Thomson, B Troop 1/11, KIA January 29, 1968 |

Kaitlin Cywinski My trips to Florida to visit my Grandad hold a special place in my heart. I remember being around 8 years old and asking about a tattoo of a horse on a crest he has. He brought me into his office and told me about his service. Every time I visit, he shows me more photos and tells me more stories about his friends he served with or tales from the ground in Cambodia. I was always captivated by his experiences and motivations. These talks mean so much to me. They shaped how I approach solving complex situations in my life, friendships/communities, and my drive to learn. As I move from my high school in downtown Chicago to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grainger school of Engineering, I take with me my Granddad’s lessons of community building, open-mindedness, and relentless drive. I plan to study Environmental Engineering. I’ve always had a huge passion for the environment and innovation. I am so grateful to the 11th Armored Cavalry for awarding me a generous scholarship to help me continue pursuing my passions, specifically in environmental engineering through college. I feel so privileged to be able to honor George Joseph Bodnar and his service to this country and to represent the 11th Armored Cavalry. Kaitlin Cywinski, granddaughter of Timothy Kerns, D Company 1/11, 1968-1969 This scholarship awarded in honor of George Joseph Bodnar, D Company 1/11, KIA August 15, 1968 |

Quinn Wright This scholarship means a lot to me. My grandfather, a member of the 11th ACVVC, has always been an important part of my life. He’s done a lot for me over my lifetime. Unfortunately, he recently got sick and I haven’t been able to see him. That being said, I feel as though earning this scholarship is a way of making him proud, even if I can’t see him in person. It would also be impossible to acknowledge the importance of this scholarship without recognizing the great sacrifice so many Americans made to make the country what it is today. I’m eternally grateful for their sacrifice and hope that America can continue to be a place of hope and prosperity because of their efforts. I’m so glad that the scholarship will help in my pursuit of an education, and I hope that I’ll be able to help people as a PT with that education. Thank you.
