With 2021 marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that claimed the lives of thousands of Americans, many servicemen who joined the military at that time have since retired from active duty.

To help them find new opportunities as they transition to civilian life, Dallas-area FBO American Aero FTW has provided more than $133,000 financial support to the Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF) since 2013 through a scholarship fund that is used to help SEALs and Special Warfare Combatant-Craft (SWCC) crewmen who are seeking pilot certification. This year’s donation tallied $17,494.
