Patriot Shootout Baton Rouge

Patriot Shootout Baton Rouge The Patriot Shootout is a golf tournament hosted at the University Club Golf Course in Baton Rouge during the month of October every year.

We use this golf tournament to help raise money for the Folds of Honor Foundation. "We have the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board, and his twin brother Corporal Brad Bucklin has accompanied him home from Iraq. As a sign of respect, please remain seated while we honor Corporal Bucklin and his sacrifice," requested the pilot over the intercom, as the plane landed. Major Dan Rooney, an F-16

fighter pilot and decorated veteran in the Oklahoma National Guard, was a passenger on the flight. He saw the flag-covered casket being removed from the plane and watched Cpl. Bucklin's family meet the procession. He choked back emotion when he saw the soldier's young son clinging to his mother's leg. While Major Rooney had experienced the harsh realities of war on the front lines, he had never witnessed the devastating reality back home. This moment changed his life forever. Major Rooney knew he couldn't change the fate of a fallen soldier, but believed he could change the future of a grieving widow or fatherless child. From this sincere and simple idea, The Folds of Honor Foundation was created, and ensures that families of the fallen and disabled must never endure alone. Brock's son, Jacob, received the first Folds of Honor scholarship.
