For this week’s #WarriorWednesday, we’re proud to recognize U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Capt. Jammie "Trix" Jamieson. A trailblazer, she became the first operational female fighter pilot selected to fly the F-22 Raptor. With an impressive career that includes flying the F-15C, earning a master’s degree from Harvard, and advocating for pregnant pilots, Jamieson continues to inspire. Her courage, perseverance, and leadership have broken barriers and paved the way for future generations of aviators.

On this #MedalofHonorMonday, we honor U.S. Air Force Maj. Bernard Francis “Bernie” Fisher for his extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War. When a fellow airman crashed under heavy fire at A Shau Valley, Major Fisher made the courageous decision to land his plane in the midst of the battle to rescue him, despite extreme danger. Taking 19 bullets to his aircraft, he successfully saved his comrade. His actions reflect the highest traditions of bravery and selflessness. We salute you!

Today marks the 249th birthday of the U.S. Navy, and we are honored to celebrate the legacy of bravery, dedication, and sacrifice that our sailors have demonstrated for nearly two and a half centuries. As we honor all those who have served and continue to serve in the Navy, let’s take a moment to reflect on their unwavering commitment to defending our nation. From all of us at the Gary Sinise Foundation, Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy! ⚓🇺🇸

We were honored to celebrate U.S. Army Sgt. Matthew Krumwiede during his recent Walls of Honor Ceremony. After surviving an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2012, Matthew's recovery and resilience has been nothing short of inspiring. From relearning how to walk to embracing adaptive sports and giving back to his community, Matthew continues to show what it means to be strong and resilient. As he and his family prepare for their next chapter in Idaho, we are honored to be building him a specially adapted house to restore his independence. We can't wait to welcome him home!
