AIRMEN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION By Keith A. Reed, President/Secretary, Board of Directors
The Air Force Sergeants Association founded the Airmen Memorial Foundation (AMF) in 1983. What started as a museum activity evolved into the Airmen Memorial Museum (AMM) and was incorporated as a stand-alone entity in 1988. The AMF then became a leader in philan- thropic and educational endeavors focusing on current and former enlisted Air Force Active Duty (AFAD), Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) members’ dependent children.
In December 2016, approval continued for AMF partici- pation in the fall 2017 Combined Federal Campaign. This was the AMF’s 34th year as the only, all-enlisted focused charity (#10517) in the national charity drive. Funds derived from this participation will support the Foundation’s extensive educational activities. In CY 2016, the AMF provided administrative and financial
management services to the two educational funds listed below.
1. The Chief Master Sergeants of the Air Force (CMSAF) Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to active- duty and retired AFAD, AFRC and ANG enlisted members’ dependent children. In CY 2016, the CMSAFs Scholarship
Committee, chaired by CMSAF #8 Sam Parish, selected 11 AFAD, ANG and AFRC dependent children to receive scholarships totaling $16,500. These academic- excellence scholarships brought the 29-year CMSAF program’s cumulative total to 281 grants worth $400,000. Among the major contributors to this worthwhile program are the worldwide military conferences, the graduating classes of the Senior NCO Academy, other enlisted Professional Military Education organizations and groups where one of the former CMSAFs conducted speaking engagements around the world.
