About Us
Founded in 2015. Driven by a Legacy of Leadership.
Our Movement
Children of Fallen Heroes (CFH) is a national movement dedicated to the families of fallen military, special operators, first responders, foster youth, and students in Title One schools. We provide a path from personal loss to a powerhouse of opportunity. Over 11 years of service, we have reached more than 15,000 children and families across America.
Our History
Rooted in the 1973 U.S. Army Golden Knights tragedy, our founder Ken Wasley turned a childhood of sacrifice into a lifelong mission of service.
