Community Engagement

We stand with the warriors of the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) community—past, present, and future.

Honoring Their Legacy, Supporting Their Families

At the TACP Foundation, we ensure that the families of fallen heroes remain part of the TACP community. Through financial support and lifelong connections, we stand beside Gold Star families, providing comfort, strength, and unwavering support.

Alyssa Gavulic

Wife of Josh Gavulic – KIA 2014

"I am so grateful for the ways that the TACP Foundation has made my children and me feel like we are still a part of the TACP community, even long after Josh passed away. They have offered my children financial support during major life transitions and welcomed us into reunions and events like family. I have personally seen the lifelong love and brotherhood within this incredible community. I am beyond grateful to be part of this organization."

Lauren Bosch

Daughter of Brian Daly – KIA 1996

"I’ve been able to meet some of my Dad’s best friends in the TACP community—people I never knew because I was only seven when he was killed. Through this connection, I’ve met the men who will stand in his place at special moments in my life, like my wedding. I feel truly loved and cared for by the TACP community."

Timothy Officer

Father of Timothy Officer – KIA 2015

"Our son was coming home—literally, figuratively, in all the ways you could imagine. We had so much hope for the future and our relationship with him. Timmy’s early death meant there were many chapters of his life that we would only come to know through stories from his TACP family and friends. The TACP community provides a connection to our son that can only be made by those closest to him—those who knew him by his deeds and actions."
