Thank you to everyone for their steadfast support of the Capital Area Golf Tournament over the past twenty years. The tournament raised more than $1.6 million, which supported four memorial scholarships -- 3/5 "Darkhorse" Memorial Scholarship, 1/8 Marines Battle of Fallujah Memorial Scholarship, First Lieutenant Robert Kelly Memorial Scholarship, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Shea USMC Memorial Scholarship. This incredible support has transformed the lives of children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen across the greater DC area!

"Every year on Memorial Day, our country pauses to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we all enjoy each day. At the same time, we should thank the Veterans that served alongside their sisters and brothers and reflect on the sacrifice of the families they left behind," writes General Robert Neller USMC (Ret.) and Scholarship Foundation Chairman.
