Aero

their
relationship

Folds
of
Honor,

Folds
of
Honor
is
an
organization
founded
by
Air
Force
Major
and
Pro
Golfer,
Dan
Rooney.
Rooney
founded
the
organization
in
2007
after
witnessing
a
late
soldiers
family,
including
a
young
son,
await
the
caskets
arrival
at
the
airport.
Thinking
of
his
own
wife
and
daughter,
he
vowed
to
take
care
of
the
family
and
finance
the
sons
education,
raising
money
through
golf
tournaments.
Since
then,
Rooney
has
expanded
his
team
and
provided
countless
scholarships
and
educational
opportunities
for
families
with
soldiers
that
have
been
killed
or
injured
while
on
active
duty.
