    Some accomplishments for your Special Operations Association Foundation this year.
    Provided funds for widows of chronically ill and disadvantaged SOA members to cover some of their final expenses.
    The SOAF Auxiliary (SOAFAC) assists the widows of SOA members who are in need. Too often members pass away without sufficient planning for their widows. The SOAFAC will make one-time grants to widows who need assistance.
