The Foundation was created out of the Division's strong brotherhood and their desire to give back and help each other. Those who have served under the 10th Mountain patch share a sense of service and the value of paying it forward - Trux Dole, Grandson of Mini Dole - Founder of the National Ski Patrol and advocate for creating the WWII light infantry division known as the 10th Mountain Division.
