The PFD Foundation is proud to support The Children of Fallen Patriots.
Their mission is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
The vision of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation is to ensure that every child of a fallen patriot receives all necessary college funding.
The Peter F. Dalton Foundation set up a scholarship at Peter's alma mater Norwich University located in Northfield, VT.
Their mission is to give our youth an education that shall be American in character—to enable them to act as well as to think—to execute as well as to conceive—“to tolerate all opinions when reason is left free to combat them”—to make moral, patriotic, efficient, and useful citizens, and to qualify them for all those high responsibilities resting upon a citizen of this free republic.

The Foundation also has a scholarship at Xavier High School located in Middletown, CT.
Since opening its doors in 1963, Xavier has remained true to its Xaverian tradition of fostering excellence in scholarship, leadership and service.
This requires the commitment of a large community of alumni, parents, family, friends, faculty, coaches and staff. In that community, we all share a common bond of helping preserve Xavier as a top-tier private, all-boys Catholic high school that challenges its students to use their God-given talents in service to others.
We send out to the world outstanding young men prepared to meet any challenge. They step out from our community, their home for four years, and become even more engaged in the larger community, our world. Yet they never step away from Xavier. It is always home.
Says Bernie Hallums ‘81, a retired Manchester Police Officer who now is on the Board of Directors:
“The high standards set forth by Xavier more than prepared me for college and future successes beyond as a Xavier man. A caring and supportive community truly made me feel like family … the faces have changed since my days at Xavier, but every time I walk in that building I am home.”
The school is home to nearly 10,000 alumni.
