The Green Beret Foundation established the Sgt. 1st Class Matthew McClintock Memorial Fund, which provides children with special needs of U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers with resources and financial assistance for medical, housing, or educational services, not covered by other means, to help them thrive.

GBF is committed to serving the children of our Nation’s Green Berets by providing access to resources and funds that alleviate the financial stress associated with providing a safe and supportive environment for children with special needs. The fund was created in memory of Sgt. 1st Class Matthew McClintock, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on January 5th, 2016 while serving as a Special Forces Engineer Sergeant with 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne).
