This week’s nominee is the founder of a DC nonprofit and is being recognized for his service to military families suffering from tragedy.
Army veteran David Kim founded Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation in 2002 – in honor of a fellow artillery officer who was killed overseas, leaving behind a young daughter.
Since then, the organization has provided full-ride scholarships to more than 24-hundred students across the country who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
That’s accumulated to more than 55 million dollars in support of gold star children.
