Derek Hines’ journey, from his time at West Point to graduating from Ranger School and deploying to Afghanistan, exemplified leadership and selflessness. Even while deployed, he remained concerned about his soldiers, ensuring they received support if injured or in need.
When Derek made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in 2005, the Hines family responded by establishing the 1st Lt. Derek Hines Soldiers Assistance Foundation. The all-volunteer organization has raised nearly $800,000 over the past 20 years to support service members and their families.
