A Soldier’s Child (ASC) Foundation was founded by Daryl J.W. Mackin after his neighbors lost their son, Marine Staff Sergeant Marcus Golczynski in Iraq on March 27, 2007. Many families of our fallen ask “did it matter and does anybody even care.”  Marcus wrote this in a letter to his family and friends before he was killed on the battlefield; “Stand beside us, because we would do it for you.” How do we do that now that they are gone? Care for their children that have been left behind.

Join us in this fight.

Christian is the grandson of Henry Golczynski, neighbor to ASC Founder/Executive Director Daryl JW Mackin. Christian became the first recipient child when ASC celebrated his 10th birthday in 2010.
