Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation

Our reputation is growing within the Special Operations community as a reliable resource for soldiers looking to make a career change.  

Your contributions to our runners will be used to support GDMF Scholars like William Eisenhart.  William  was born in South Korea and immigrated to the United States with his mother as an infant.  When 9/11 occurred, William felt helpless watching the situations unfold in Washington DC, NYC and Pennsylvania.  He walked away from his career as in Internet Engineer and enlisted in the Navy at 30 years of age.  He served as an Explosive Ordnance Technician, deploying and disarming Improvised Explosive Devices.  He saw the injuries created by these devices while doing Tactical Emergency Casualty Care, but not able to do more in the chain of survivability.  He left the Navy and worked as an intelligence anaylst but decided to return the military and became a Special Operations Combat Medic for a Special Forces Battalion in the Army National Guard.

William understood that his role in the military did not translate to the civilian sector, so he applied and was accepted to the Yale School of Medicine Physician Assistant Online Program.  As the son of a middle school educated mother and the first member of his family to graduate from college, he is humbled to attend an Ivy League institution.  He is in his second year and is splitting time between the civilian and miliatry hospital setting as he wants to commission in the military when he graduates.  He hopes to work with other Special Operations Medics overseas helping underserved populations.  He intends to carry on Glen Doherty's legacy, who was a Special Operations SEAL Corpsman, to help other regardless of the dangers.

Thank you for your consideration!  Your generosity will go right to work in helping our nation's soldiers transition to new careers and new family life.
