Five days before Christmas, a member of his unit, Sgt. William Delaney Gibbs, was killed. He left behind a wife, then-pregnant with their daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim returned home after the 1989 mission and asked his wife Cynthia, \u201cWho is going to take care of their baby girl?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The couple, inspired to act, founded Children of Fallen Patriots in 2002 with a simple mission: Provide college scholarships to Gold Star families across all branches of the military. Since its inception, the nonprofit has awarded more than $29 million to the children of service members who have died in combat, training, and by suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim never forgot Gibbs or his daughter, and according to Cynthia, they\u2019ve managed to follow her story to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[Gibbs] is iconic and represents the whole group,\u201d Cynthia told Military Times. \u201cWe memorialize him through this organization every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fallen sergeant has done more than just serve as the inspiration for Children of Fallen Patriots. Major companies like PepsiCo have also joined the cause. IHOP President Darren Rebelez, a West Point classmate of Kim\u2019s, recently partnered with the two organizations to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to put towards the education and counseling needs of Gold Star children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 21, at a New Jersey IHOP pit stop along the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallenpatriots.org\/r-r\" target=_blank>PepsiCo Rolling Remembrance<\/a> tour, executives from all three organizations gathered to celebrate the work of Fallen Patriots, which has helped fund education for more than 1,400 children. But in the last 35 years, more than 200,000 military children have lost a parent, and according the organization\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/57599a6e1bbee0ce8fa15070\/t\/5c9d04899140b7e8da8fe4e2\/1553794201832\/CFP.AR+2018.final+spreads.pdf\" target=_blank>2018 report<\/a>, they will need \u201capproximately $500 million to achieve the dreams their parents wanted for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallenpatriots.org\/ihop\" target=_blank>month-long campaign<\/a>, which ends May 31, Rebelez hopes IHOP will raise $1 million in scholarships through pancake sales and donations. PepsiCo, to date, has raised $860,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese kids help me appreciate every day. Some of them call me when they get an A on a test,\u201d Cynthia gushed. \u201cEvery day I have a moment like that. It\u2019s just really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children of Fallen Patriots partners with IHOP and PepsiCo to put Gold Star children through
