Love Story
Marine Corporal Carl Cochrane and his wife, Jaimie, share an awe-inspiring love story—one that has been strengthened throughout hardship, deepened by sacrifice, and showered with joy.
When Carl got down on one knee and proposed to Jaimie in front of 1,000 people, it was much more than a romantic moment—it was a milestone in an incredible journey that seems almost beyond imagining. Together they’ve faced life-threatening injuries from Carl’s service in Iraq and a battle with cancer, but with The Fund always by their side, they've traveled this remarkable road together, surmounting every obstacle through sheer determination and with unconditional love.
“It means the world to us to have The Fund at a time like this.”
—The Cochranes

Afghan Interpreters Welcome Fund
