The Blue Skies Foundation was founded by three Active Duty Army Aviators in early 2020. Each serving the better part of a decade to include a combat deployment, they were very familiar with the inherent risk of their jobs.
Two members, while serving in liaison positions with Special Forces Groups, experienced firsthand the positive effects that organizations like the Green Beret Foundation were able to have on the families of fallen Green Berets. Nothing like this existed for the Army Aviation Community.
On September 26, 2019, MAJ Trevor Joseph was killed in a UH-60 crash in Fort Polk, LA. The following day they decided to leverage their network in the community to make a difference.
The foundation is a veteran-founded nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Army Aviation community and its Gold Star Families.
In addition to providing financial support to our Gold Star Families, we ensure that the fallen aircrewmembers' legacies are never forgotten.
We honor our fallen brothers and sisters through generous donations, volunteering, business relationships, and by the sale of apparel from our shop.
