Autumn Lemke Winning the 11th Armored Cavalry’s Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia’s Scholarship means so much to me since I have several family members that served in the military, specifically both of my grandfathers. While I know very little about one of my grandfather’s time in the military because he passed away while I was still in middle school, I recently interviewed my other grandfather about his time in Vietnam for a different scholarship. Even though I didn’t win that scholarship, it was still very valuable information that I learned from him and I’m sad that I’ll never learn the same from my other grandfather as well. This scholarship will help me greatly with college and I’m very lucky to have received it. Thank you so much!

Anna Walker Not only did he put his life on the line in a warzone, but when the battle continued back home, in several different aspects, my grandfather continued on and pushed back. My grandpa always came out on top, no matter the obstacle, and I really admire and look up to him in that aspect. To me, this scholarship represents meaningful support as I navigate a different kind of challenge—college. While not a battlefield, college presents its own pressures, especially when it comes to financial concerns. This scholarship will provide invaluable assistance as I pursue my education and work toward becoming an officer in the United States Air Force. I have long dreamed of becoming one of the Air Force’s top pilots. Whether that ambition sounds bold or not, it is something I genuinely strive for. I believe I am fully capable of achieving it. A flight instructor once told me, “In no way, shape, or form is flying a one-person sport. Know when to ask for help, and when to take it. Know your limits.” To me, this scholarship represents exactly that—asking for help in the form of financial support to achieve a lifelong goal. The path ahead will be long but I am prepared. Thank you for this generous opportunity. I am committed to honoring this scholarship and the mission behind it. Your support has made my dream more attainable, and I hope to make you proud. Anna Walker, granddaughter of Thomas Kieffer, HHT 3/11, 1966-1967 This scholarship is awarded in honor of Raymond Desmond Crowder Jr, K Troop 3/11, KIA June 19, 1967 |

Seth Witherspoon I am extremely grateful and honored to receive this scholarship. I am ecstatic that I can represent my grandfather honorably by receiving this award. I could not be more thankful toward the amazing people who fought for our country during the Vietnam War. It is truly an honor to be considered for this scholarship by the brave men of the 11th Armored Cavalry’s Veterans of Vietnam & Cambodia. This scholarship will be an immense help in my next step of pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering at Clemson University. Thank you for your service and thank you for this opportunity.

I am so grateful for the sacrifices of these veterans, especially my grandfather, John Welch. I am so inspired by his love for his family and his spiritual leadership.
