CW3 Bob Stanford Increases His Gift
Vietnam War Huey Pilot Steps Up When It Counts
Bob Stanford knows the meaning of sacrifice, service and
commitment. Bob volunteered for the Army in 1968 and flew
Huey helicopters in combat for a year during the Vietnam War
as a Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3). After being discharged,
he worked in the aviation industry for many years before starting
Fredericksburg-based Zenith Aviation and serving as its CEO.
Bob, already a major donor to the campaign at the Three Star
Circle of Distinction, made the decision to make another major Mr. Bob Stanford presents his check for $1M to
gift to the Museum after he learned that the Vietnam War section AHF president LTG Roger Schultz, USA-Ret. t the

of the Cold War Gallery had yet to find a supporter.
As he related during a moving speech at the Foundation’s September 17th Circles of Distinction reception, he
astounded when he discovered that no donor had stepped up to become the patron of that portion of the Cold
War Gallery that told the story of the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who fought an unconventional
and unpopular war against an unyielding and determined enemy. Behind everyone of those soldiers who served
in Vietnam was a story that included more than just the individual and their deeds. Bob wanted to guarantee
that their stories were told and that everyone who came into the gallery went away with a fuller understanding of
one of the nation’s most complex and nuanced wars and a feeling for what serving there meant for the men and
women who came home to no victory parade and no “job well done” from their government and fellow citizens.

AHF Hosts Circles of Distinction of Reception at Fort Belvoir

The Army Historical Foundation played host to an “all-star” gathering of its
Circles of Distinction members at the Fort Belvoir Officer’s Club on the evening
of September 17th. An annual Circles membership event, the gather saw senior
representatives from many of the Foundation’s major supporters gather for a
brief update on the status of the project and two major gift announcements (see
accompanying articles).
However, the highlight of the evening was a tour of the Army’s Museum Support
Center, where many of the Army’s historic artifacts are housed, including most of
those destined for the National Museum. Museum curators and support personnel
show attendees a sampling of the Army’s collection, including paintings from the
16,000 piece Army Art Collection, most of which are Soldier-created works.
Guests were shuttled from the Officer’s Club to the nearby
Support Center and then returned to the Club for drinks
and hors d’oeuvres before the evening’s program began.
After a moving appeal by former CW3 Bob Stanford to
support the Museum, board member GEN Eric Shinseki,
pinch-hitting for board chair GEN Gordon R. Sullivan,
made his own affecting call to support the Museum,
drawing on his more than 40 years of military and civilian
service to the nation.
GEN Shinseki encouraged current donors to consider
increasing their gifts and appealed to those friends of The Ambassador to the United States from Luxembourg, H.E.
Gaston Stronck (center), and the embassy’s Deputy Chief of
the Museum in attendance who have yet to support the Mission, Véronique Dockendorf (left), with AHF board member

Leidos Jumps into Four Star Circle of Distinction
Leidos Chairman and CEO, Roger Krone, Presents $300,000 Plus Up Check
Museum friend and long-time supporter Leidos has raised its total giving toward construction of the Army’s
national museum to $500,000. In a ceremony in the Museum’s Experiential Learning Center (ELC), Mr. Roger
Krone, chairman and CEO of Leidos, presented a check for the final
$300,000 of the company’s gift to LTG Roger Schultz, USA-Ret.,
president of the Army Historical Foundation.
“Leidos’ generosity will go a long way in helping us construct a
permanent tribute to the 30 million men and women who have worn
the U.S. Army uniform,” said Schultz. “Roger and the team at Leidos
clearly appreciate the value this magnificent Museum will have for
both our Army and our nation. We are deeply grateful to them for LTG Schultz, Roger Krone and Leidos Team in the ELC
making it possible for us to tell the history of the U.S. Army in the way it deserves to be told.”
The Leidos contribution will support the development of the Museum, which will include hands-on geography
training exercises to be conducted in the ELC’s Training Area. The ELC will be a unique, interactive learning
space where visitors take part in a simulated Army humanitarian mission, which will build their skills in geogra-
phy, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (G-STEM).
“We are honored to support the Army Historical Foundation as they ensure that the stories of our Soldiers are
preserved, shared and experienced,” said Roger Krone, Leidos chairman and chief executive officer. “It’s impor-
tant to educate all Americans so they can fully appreciate the sacrifices that generations of American Soldiers
have made to safeguard our freedoms.”

AHF Moves to the National Museum of the United States Army

Foundation Staff Relocates to New Offices at 1775 Liberty Drive
As of 4 November 2019, the Army Historical Foundation offices will be located in the National Museum
of the United States Army. Our new address is 1775 Liberty Dr., Fort Belvoir, VA 22060. We will still be
picking up our mail at 2425 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington for a while, but information on the new mailing
address will be sent out shortly. Check our website for updates.

Year End Giving

Don’t Forget the Army’s Museum in Your End-of-Year Tax Plans
With all of the recent changes in tax law is a gift to the Army’s Museum still a good idea? Yes, it is. As a 501(c)
(3) non-profit organization, all gifts of cash and securities to the Foundation are fully deductible against your
income tax if you itemize deductions. In addition, gifts of appreciated securities can help donors avoid capital
gains taxes, especially on highly appreciated stocks.
Another way to give to the Museum comes through an IRA Charitable Rollover, which allows individuals 70 1/2
years or older to donate up to $100,000 directly from their IRA, without the donation counting as taxable income
when being withdrawn. Contributions can come from either a traditional IRA or Roth IRA.
One more, less used avenue to support the Museum is by making contributions of property owned for more than
one year, where the value of the deduction is equal to its fair market value in most cases. The advantage here is
that when you contribute appreciated property your deduction is for its full fair-market value. This means you are
avoid taxes any of the appreciation, in effect receiving a deduction on value that you never reported as income.
As always, be sure to maintain proper documentation for all your charitable giving so you can account for it in
April.

 MUSEUM SPOTLIGHT
Cold War: Korean War Jeep Diorama—$1,000,000 Sponsorship Opportunity
Visitors enter the Cold War Gallery from the Army
Concourse. The first area, Introduction: Cold War, features a
wall of louvered slats that sits between the concourse and the
gallery space beyond, allowing glimpses at what is to come.
At the joint entryway to the Korean War and the Vietnam War
areas, visitors encounter a display outlining the difference
between conventional and unconventional warfare, providing
them with a framework for understanding and comparing these
two conflicts. The Korean War area traces the chronological
path of the war, along with the dramatic sweeps in control of
territory that characterized the war in its early years.
As they continue into the space, visitors find an undulating
mural wall with a large, dramatic image of Soldiers marching
along the bleak, snowy ridge of a mountain in Korea. Below
the mural is the chronological story of the war, which uses a
series of maps to dramatize the shifting control of territory.
The first segment of the wall addresses the early involvement
of the Army, telling the story of the brief, ill-fated battle waged
by Task Force Smith, which stands as a bitter reminder of the
The Cold War Gallery
importance of Army readiness. As they move through the
chronology, visitors learn that Soldiers continued to fight bravely for months after it became known that cease-
fire negotiations were underway. In the middle stands an Army Jeep, the simple and durably-built workhorse that
was a transportation staple during both the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The depiction is set in November 1950 and shows Soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division’s 17th Regimental Combat
Team’s Intelligence & Reconnaissance platoon during the advance to Hyesanjin on the Manchurian Border.
The jeep is equipped with an M-2, .50-cal. machine-gun. In the jeep are several steel .50 cal. ammo boxes; an
M1 ammunition bag; motor vehicle first aid kit; a jeep tool roll; M3 binoculars
and M17 case; M1 helmet; M1945
combat pack; M1949 mountain
sleeping bags; and a ten-in-one
ration carton.

 The Museum Experience...
The National Army Museum will be more than just
a building. It will be an experience that will engage
visitors of all ages emotionally and intellectually in
the Army’s history and heritage and allow them to
experience what it is like to be a Soldier. Visitors
will be able to absorb the history of America’s Army
in a variety of formats. Exhibits will replicate
three-dimensional historical contexts by combining
cutting edge technologies, inter-activity, carefully
selected and positioned artifacts, special effects,
and first-person Soldier stories to recreate a sense of
time and place and bring action and adventure to the
Museum experience.
