Happy 251st Birthday to the .S. Navy ! 🇺🇸⚓

Since 1775, generations of Sailors have answered the call to serve. Behind that service are families whose lives, experiences, and futures have been shaped alongside them.

Today, No Greater Sacrifice is proud to recognize the U.S. Navy families in the NGS community.

As we continue Freedom’s Future, we honor the service and sacrifice of the children of our nation’s fallen and severely wounded Service members.

Take a moment to thank a Sailor or Navy family who has made an impact in your community.

This National Physician Assistant Week, we’re proud to recognize NGS Scholar Elizabeth “Reese” Carwile as she works toward becoming a Physician Assistant. 🩺

Reese is currently in her second year of PA school and is expected to graduate in December 2027. Before beginning this chapter, she graduated from The University of Mississippi - Ole Miss and Sally Barksdale Honor College with a Bachelor of Arts in Allied Health Studies, Physician Assistant Emphasis, and a minor in Biology.

Reese lost her father, U.S. Army 1LT Donald Carwile, in Afghanistan on August 15, 2008, when his Humvee was hit by an IED.

Today, Reese is continuing to build a future of her own through her education and pursuit of a career caring for others.

“My appreciation for the No Greater Sacrifice team is beyond words can say! Again, thank you so much for all the hard work you’ve done for me!” Reese shared.

Her father’s service and sacrifice will always be part of her journey, and we are proud to stand beside Reese as she continues toward her next milestone.

This PA Week, join us in celebrating Reese and cheering her on as she works toward graduation in December 2027. 💙

Meet the King family. 🇺🇸💙

Retired U.S. Army Ranger MSG Cedric King, served through multiple combat deployments before an IED changed his life in Afghanistan in 2012. Cedric lost both legs and sustained severe injuries to his right hand.

What followed was not simply recovery, but a family learning how to move forward together.

Cedric went on to run more than 25 Marathons, complete endurance races including IRONMAN 70.3, summit mountains, and author The Making Point. Beside him through the uncertainty, recovery, and reinvention was his wife, Khieda — providing the steady love and leadership that enabled their family to navigate profound change.

And today, their daughters are building futures distinctly their own.

Amari, an NGS Scholar at Brenau University, is pursuing Theatre Arts and hopes to turn her creativity and love of hairstyling into a career designing wigs and creating hairstyles backstage.

Khamya, also an NGS Scholar, is attending Gwinnett Technical College, building a creative path of her own.

Their father’s service is part of Amari and Khamya’s journey. Their family’s sacrifice helped shape them.

And their futures are theirs to define.

This is Freedom’s Future.

Where did your future begin? 🎓

October is College Application Month, a time when students across the country are exploring what comes next in their journey after high school.

For many children of fallen or severely wounded Service members, that next chapter may lead to a four-year university, community college, technical or vocational school, or another path aligned with their goals.

As students finalize their applications and think about the campuses, programs, and the opportunities ahead, advice from those who have already taken that next step can mean a lot.

Today, we want to hear from you.

Where did your future begin? Tell us where you went to college in the comments, and share any advice you would give to students preparing for the next chapter of their journeys. 🎓💙

Yesterday, we introduced you to six remarkable Scholars who represent Freedom’s Future.

So what does it mean to stand beside them?

At No Greater Sacrifice, it means creating educational opportunities for the children of our nation's fallen and severely wounded Service members. It means removing financial barriers to college and walking alongside Scholars as they take meaningful steps toward their goals.

A degree can become a career. A career can become a lifetime of service, leadership, innovation, or impact. Those possibilities belong to each Scholar, and together, we can put them within reach.

This campaign honors 25 years of post-9/11 service and sacrifice by looking ahead to those who come next. Their families gave so much for our country. Now, it's our turn to show up for their children.

Which of yesterday's Scholars inspired you most? Share a word of encouragement for them in the comments. 👇

On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, No Greater Sacrifice proudly honors Diane Wagoner and remembers her son, Army Staff Sgt. Terry Daniel Wagoner, who was killed in Iraq on September 14, 2007, while serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

In the years following Daniel's death, Diane and Pastor Scott Wagoner raised his daughter, Diana. At just 3 years old, Diana became NGS’s first scholarship recipient, beginning a relationship with our organization that has continued from childhood to college.

Today, Diana is pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at North Greenville University.

The sacrifice of a fallen Service member does not end on the battlefield. Its impact continues across generations — and so should our commitment to the children and families who carry that legacy forward.

We are deeply grateful to the Wagoner family for allowing NGS to be part of their story from the very beginning. Today, we remember Daniel's service and sacrifice, honor Diane’s enduring love, and stand with Gold Star Mothers and Families everywhere. ⭐️

Education is an investment whose impact can extend far beyond a degree.

In recognition of Pharmacist Day, No Greater Sacrifice is proud to highlight Alumna Dr. Chloe Spooneybarger and the journey that took her from NGS Scholar to healthcare professional.

Chloe earned her Doctor of Pharmacy from The University of Toledo and is now an Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Resident there. She also earned an MBA from Western Governors University, complementing her clinical expertise with a foundation in business and leadership.

Her professional experience grew alongside her education. At Walgreens, Chloe progressed from Pharmacy Technician to Pharmacy Intern to Graduate Intern, building hands-on experience that continues to inform her work in patient-centered care and medication safety.

Chloe’s father, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (SFC) Charles Spooneybarger, was medically retired after injuries sustained while serving as a combat engineer in Iraq. NGS was privileged to support Chloe during her undergraduate education, helping provide a foundation for the educational and professional path she chose to pursue.

Her journey is Freedom’s Future.

Twenty-five years of post-9/11 service and sacrifice have shaped families across our country. Today, NGS invests in educational opportunities for the children of our nation’s fallen and severely wounded Service members as they determine what their own futures will become.

For Chloe, that future led to a career in pharmacy and patient care, and to a commitment to serving others.

Congratulations, Dr. Spooneybarger. We’re proud to have played a part in your journey.

Their parents served and sacrificed for our future. Now, we have the opportunity to support theirs.

Your support can help another NGS Scholar pursue their future dreams. Learn more about Freedom’s Future and make a gift to support the educational journeys of NGS Scholars: https://buff.ly/m84zhfV
