The SFC Nathan Chapman Fund has been designed to honor not just the heroic acts of SFC Chapman, but to honor and assist the families of other Central Texas men and women who have given their lives while spreading the cause of freedom.

On January 4th, 2002, near the city of Khost, Afghanistan,
Sergeant First Class Nathan R. Chapman became the first
American soldier killed by enemy fire in the War on Terror.
Although mortally wounded, SFC Chapman heroically returned fire until losing consciousness and is credited with saving the lives of his comrades.
