The following letter is from Rachel: Dear 506th Scholarship Committee, I am very honored to be selected as a recipient of the 506th Scholarship, and would like to express my deepest gratitude. Spending the last few years of my life around the military academy, I've come to realize how much education and academia is especially important to my entire family.

The following letter is from Sierra: Dear 506th Scholarship Committee, Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to continue my education and to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. My mother and father (who served in the 1-506th at Camp Greaves in the Korean DMZ) were just as surprised and happy as I was at hearing this exciting news. As thankful as we were for the Committee's generosity, I cannot express in words the full extent of my gratitude at receiving the 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment Scholarship--only know that it's infinite and reaches out to every soldier that served in the 506th; these courageous men and women risked their lives so that I might have a chance to live in a country built on dreams. I am truly grateful for this and I will never forget their sacrifice. I hope more people will get to experience this patriotic feeling and I hope the Committee continues to change people's lives for the better. Thanks for all your help! Sierra Moreno |

The following letter is from Aleia: June 8, 2012 Dear 506th Scholarship Committee, I want to give you my deepest and most sincere thanks for selecting me as a 2012 Scholarship Recipient. My family and I were a part of the Currahee organization for about five years, survived two deployments, and made many friends through FRG functions. My father always speaks highly of his time in the Currahees, and I know my experiences through this organization will be ones that I keep with me forever. I am truly grateful that the 506th is helping me in my pursuit of a Doctor of Pharmacy degree at the University of Tennessee at Memphis. With this degree I hope to give back to the military community by being a clinical pharmacist in a post hospital. Again thank you so much for selecting me for the honor of representing the 506th as a 2012 scholarship recipient. CURRAHEE! Aleia Judd |

The following letter is from Lauren: June 2008 To the 506th Association Scholarship Committee: I am very excited and honored to have been chosen as a recipient of the 506 th Association Scholarship. I was in Philadelphia doing a geography field project when my mother called to tell me that I had received the scholarship. It was an extremely pleasant surprise and I almost did not believe her until I read the letter myself when I got home. With both my father and brother leaving for Iraq in the near future, we were truly grateful to have received this good news at such a stressful time. I sincerely appreciate everything that the members of your association have done and continue to do for our nation. Thank you for your generosity. Sincerely, Lauren Herwehe |

The following letter is from Callie: June 14, 2007 Dear 506th Association Scholarship Committee, Thank you so much for choosing me as the winner of the 2007 scholarship! This truly was a surprise. When I opened the letter you had sent, my first thought was that it would tell me that my application was greatly appreciated. Instead, it was to tell me that I had won the scholarship. I was completely overjoyed and called my parents immediately to let them know of the news. A large weight has been lifted off of my shoulders knowing that part of my college fees will be paid for thanks to your generosity. A requirement for acceptance of this scholarship award is to send a photograph of myself. I have included a photograph of my father and I because without his contribution to our country, I would not have been able to apply for this award. Once again, thank you for your generosity and for choosing me as the winner of this scholarship! Your contribution will help me in my future goals of success and helping others. Sincerely, Callie Richardson |

I am working my way up to calculus so I can get on with my other Construction Engineering classes! (I am in the Library right now thought I would take a break!) But everything is going good, making a little money on the side every now and then working for Public Safety on Campus. There are also lots of pretty girls down here - enough to drive a guy crazy! I just wanted to say hello to you all and thank you again so much for the scholarship!!! Talk to you again soon! Tony Gomes |
