THE POINTE DU HOC FOUNDATION

“We are a family and we do take care of our own.  We live the Creed- it is a lifetime commitment. With my dad gone, he passed it to me.  I carry the load with honor – and a privilege!!! Love these guys; and love their families.”  Lynn Towne, 2014

2026 ANNUAL PLEDGE

An inspiring community of volunteers and sponsors committed to 2d Battalion Rangers and Families

The Pointe du Hoc Foundation (PDHF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (EIN: 45-1716189) established to recognize and commemorate the special operations warriors of 2d Ranger Battalion. An all volunteer organization formed in 2011, the Foundation partners with government and community leaders, local and national businesses, and friends of the battalion, providing support to Rangers and family members who served honorably in the unit.

The commitment, professionalism, and esprit of Rangers are legendary: 2nd Battalion Rangers “leading the way” up the Pointe du Hoc cliffs at Normandy on D-Day; Ranger Companies crossing the frozen fields of Chipyong-ni, Korea; LRP Rangers wading through the wetlands of Vietnam; nighttime parachute assaults into Grenada and Panama; and spearheading missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rangers have humbly defended and protected America for decades.

CSM (R) Randy Inman Chairman of the Board

“What I’ve seen those affiliated with the Foundation do is…expose the Rangers to an organization that has their interests, whether they’re in uniform or not, at heart. An association that does that is very unique and special. It does not exist in the commercial United States of America. And for them to recognize that they have a partner as they make transitions, in uniform and out, is really, really critical.”

Charles Hartford Financial Advisor and Former Ranger

“In a relentless lifestyle defined by taxing goodbyes, decades of deployments, and only a few anniversaries spent together, our Ranger family perseveres. Tomorrow brings uncertainty, but PDHF offers assurance.”
