Retired Chief Master Sergeant William Markham spent 30 years in the Air Force, was inducted in the 2021 Air Commando Hall of Fame and in the 2022 USSOCOM Hall of Heroes. I know him personally because he was the chief of my brother Mark’s squadron (21st STS out of Pope Field, NC).  I never met him until he delivered the notification of Mark’s death to our family on Sept 29, 2010.  And he rarely left our home for the next week.  Our family has tremendous respect for Markham.Now, he has found a way to give back to his community and our veterans.  He is the Chairman of Project OVAT and Executive Director of The Patriot  Fund. He’s a big believer in service dogs and in helping our vets get the services they need b/c he had several difficult years of figuring out his benefits, insurance and disability.  This man was on the ground in Afghanistan in Oct 2010 and was awarded the Silver Star on that deployment.  He’s served our country well and now continues to serve in other ways.
