EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUND When catastrophic events happen, we rapidly dispense EAF support to enable our Deployable Specialized Forces and Tactical Law Enforcement families to focus on what matters the most. The EAF is established to assist our families with travel costs, lodging, living expenses, funeral arrangements, and other extraordinary expenses related to the emergency that the service is not authorized to cover. This eliminates the need for teammates at the local level have to "pass the hat," and instead frees them up to support the family in more direct ways. Prior examples include: - When a member broke his neck in training, we supported hotel and travel costs so his nine-month pregnant wife could stay near him - Supported a member who suffered the tragic and unexpected loss their child - Funds for complete childcare of a toddler when a member on deployment to CENTCOM lost his wife unexpectedly NATE BRUCKENTHAL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP We have watched DSF personnel work tirelessly toward the mission, willingly sacrificing the opportunity to take advantage of the educational opportunities that exist for service members. This sacrifice shall not go unnoticed. We are very excited to support our community of patriots with the Nate Bruckenthal Memorial Scholarship. The recipient of this scholarship will be named a Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Foundation Scholar and be supported with up to $10,000 in scholarship benefits. In close coordination with Mr. Ric Bruckenthal and the Foundation's Board of Directors, we have modeled this program to honor Nate Bruckenthal for what he continues to represent today: a man of great integrity, character, and service. Nate made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Nate was a committed operator and patriot. Nate is a Brother to this community.
