Since 2014, Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund has awarded more than $10 million in scholarships to military veterans and their family members, especially children of the fallen or disabled.
Stay tuned, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) will announce the current recipient this week.
Tristan is an Eagle Scout, 2018 Empire State Champion with Schuylerville’s Envirothon Team, and taught a STEAM program. He was also selected into the Hudson Valley Community College National Honor Society and continues to support veterans by participating in the National Laying of the Wreaths at the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.
He says, "Thank you for the honor of selection as a No Greater Sacrifice Scholarship recipient, I will continue to honor your commitment to my education by doing my very best at RIT."
Tristan’s father, Scott suffers multiple injuries, including PTSD and migraines, from frequent mortar and rocket attacks during his time in Iraq.
NGS would also like to thank our amazing partner, the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund for their support in making Tristan’s dreams come true.
Students like Tristan are the future of America, and by honoring them, we honor their family’s sacrifice. We honor our Veterans.

Greyson is passionate about outdoor adventures, to include fly-fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, cycling, climbing, and traveling to new destinations. He is an artist with a penchant for photography and branding art. Greyson completed Ironman Tulsa last May. Last summer, he completed an 8-week internship at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) in the CHAMP Program. This internship helps to further develop those interested in holistic skill sets, gaining relevant experiences, and advancing in their career paths related to Human Performance Optimization (HPO) and Total Force Fitness (TFF). Last fall, Greyson studied abroad in Thailand to learn more about health, wellness, and Thai culture.
Greyson’s father, Major Troy “Trojan” Gilbert, was a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter pilot. On November 27, 2006, while flying a surveillance mission near Taji, Iraq, he got a call from a crashed helicopter containing 22 Army Special Operators. While gunning insurgent trucks that were closing in on the crash site and simultaneously taking heavy enemy fire, his plane crashed and he was killed upon impact. His body was taken by insurgents, and it would not be returned to the United States until the fall of 2016, in which he was given a full burial with honors on the tenth anniversary of his first memorial service.
Major Troy Gilbert made the ultimate sacrifice in 2006. He left behind a wife and five children: Boston (9 years), Greyson (6 years), Isabella (3 years), Annalise (9 months), and Aspen (9 months).
Greyson says, “My dad's dream for us was to follow our dreams and chase our goals in life. No Greater Sacrifice helps us do just that, not only financially but also in the encouragement, guidance, and support we get from the people there. It’s evident they truly care about the well-being of their students in addition to our academic endeavors!”
NGS would like to thank the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund for helping Greyson’s dreams come true.

Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund 5th Atlanta Gala!
Mark your calendars—Friday, October 21st at the the St. Regis Atlanta.
Since early childhood, Caleb has always enjoyed learning and doing research. Growing up as a caregiver to their father and around his father’s injuries, Caleb knew that he would enjoy a bio-related career that was able to help people. His long-term goal is to become a professor in physics. Caleb’s mother being a high school teacher was very prevalent in his life, and he would love to follow in her footsteps but in a college environment. He thinks it would be cool to witness the “light bulb” aha moments for his students like he saw with his mother’s students.
Currently, Caleb works as a student research assistant, after asking his professor his freshman year if he could conduct research. His research is in the area of understanding the mechanical properties of comparing normal cells to cancer variants at the Guthold Lab at Wake Forest University.
This past summer he received a URECA Grant from Wake Forest University to do research with a professor and work on the mechanics of breast cells and their cancerous variants.
Caleb’s father, U.S. Army Sgt. Loyd Sawyer, served as part of the Army Mortuary Affairs team assigned to Dover Port Mortuary. He then served in Iraq from July 2006-February 2007 at the mortuaries in Tallil and Balad. At Balad, the mortuary was under constant bombardment as it sat on the flight line. The team faced repeated blast exposure. In 2008, Loyd was medically retired due to his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Regarding his scholarship, Caleb says “It is the most fortunate thing that has ever happened to me.”
NGS would also like to thank the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund in supporting Caleb and helping him reach his dreams.

Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund honors military service and sacrifice by providing scholarships to veterans and military family members, especially to the children of our nation’s fallen or disabled.
Since its inception in 2014, the Fund has provided nearly $25 million in scholarship funding. That's eight years of impact, and we're just getting started. Our goal is to award $5 million in scholarship funding in 2022, and we need your help to do so.
Time and again, our soldiers and their families are asked to give of themselves for the rest of us. While they ask little in return, we owe them so much. Through education, we give back to those who gave. We give back to “Our Own.” It's the least we can do.

On Independence Day, we are reminded of our nation's history and consider a vision for its future that honors our past and the people who helped shape it while always striving for excellence. We remember the bravery of our armed forces who made our independence possible and began shaping our national heritage.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Team Johnny Mac is 5 days into the Salkantay-Inca Trail challenge! They have traversed approximately 40 miles. Today they are on the longest but most breathtaking day of the Salkantay-Inca Trail.
They’ll reach the peak of Dead Women's Pass at about 12,000’. They are enjoying glacier and mountain views; the Inca ruins called Runcu Raccay; Lake Yanaccoha where the Incas once organized ceremonies for the goodness of the water; and finally, the famous cloud forest and one of the most beautiful Incan ruins called Sayacmarca.
Sayacmarca boasts some of the most spectacular views of the valley. We can’t wait to see the team’s photos once they finish the challenge and return to Cusco. There is no cell phone coverage on the trek!

On a recent trip to visit family in Kansas, Johnny Mac board member Dave Anderson stopped by the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery to pay his respects at COL John McHugh’s grave.
“Seeing John’s name chiseled on that granite marker was a stark reminder of the sacrifice made by him and his entire family. It was also a reminder that we shouldn’t let their sacrifice, and that made by so many others, go unnoticed. The work we have started at the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund has a long, long way to go."
