Folds of Honor is a foundation that helps families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. 

Lt. Col. Dan Rooney founded Folds of Honor in 2007 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, with this exact goal. 

Now, 15 years later, Folds of Honor has awarded over 44,000 educational scholarships to the children of America’s heroes.

Folds of Honor CEO and founder Lt. Col. Dan Rooney and scholarship recipient Arianna Robinson joined "Fox & Friends" on Thursday to discuss how the foundation is impacting the student’s life.

"Getting to pursue my dreams and to go to school because of the Folds of Honor, and because my dad encouraged me to get involved with them, has been just the most miraculous thing in the entire world," said Robinson.
