ABOUT FWAPC
About Fort Worth Air Power Council
WHO WE ARE
The Fort Worth Airpower Council (FWAPC) is a 501(c)4 Civil Service Organization that dates back to 1958 when General Curtis LeMay and Frank Kent, a local businessman, started the FWAPC supporting Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas.
The FWAPC developed over the years as a 200-member organization and in 1999 the Fort Worth Air Power Council created the Fort Worth Airpower Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit foundation to raise money in support of our military troops and their families.
WHAT WE DO
FWAPC goals focus on being an organization through which its members and their families provide strong support for a powerful United States Airpower in the defense of our Nation.
Through using our community resources, active volunteerism and learning the needs of our service members the FWAPC can advocate and change the lives of our military community
in North Texas.
In so doing, the organization shall not engage in partisan politics nor will it directly or indirectly support or endorse any political party or candidate for public office.
WHY WE DO IT
All Americans need to recognize that the families of our military brothers and sisters make huge sacrifices here at home, while their loved ones put their lives in harm’s way serving our great nation and the cause of freedom. Thousands of North Texas Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines serve their country and are called to duty for multiple tours away from home. This places a heavy strain on families and could adversely affect troop morale.
Now more than ever we need to support our military and military families.
HOW WE DO IT
HOW WE DO IT
The Fort Worth Air Power Council works hard to earn the trust of our Military Leaders at the NAS JRB Fort Worth, our membership, and business leaders around the Metroplex in order to maximize our impact.
Different Fort Worth Air Power Council Initiatives:
Our troops and their families appreciate that members of the FWAPC are there to thank our deploying and returning troops at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth.
Many of our members attend military ceremonies such as change of commands, promotions, family day events, award ceremonies and special recognition events.
FWAPC takes action and informs our congressional representatives and key Pentagon personnel the efforts we are making and the high level of community support for our military.
Since 1958, FWAPC has continued to support our Veterans and provide volunteer help at the local VA. Our support extends to a number of surrounding military bases such as Fort Cavazos, Sheppard AFB, Brooke Army Medical Center and Fort Sill. Most importantly—our military leaders are well aware that the FWAPC is there for them, to assist in any way we can.
