The Corporal Daegan Page Foundation was created to honor the life and sacrifice of U.S. Marine Corporal Daegan William-Tyeler Page. Daegan was one of the 13 American service members killed during the evacuation at Kabul Airport on August 26, 2021. He was a son, a boyfriend, a brother, a friend, and a Marine who believed in service, loyalty, and love for his country.
This foundation exists because his life mattered. His story continues. What he stood for lives on through the people and communities he touched. We are here to carry that forward.
What We Do
We work with families, veterans, and active-duty members to meet real needs. We share stories and provide resources. We host events that bring people together. We give scholarships and partner with others who share our goals.
The Corporal Daegan Page Foundation is about more than remembering one Marine. It’s about continuing what he started. Service. Strength. Love that never ends.
What Makes Us Different
The Corporal Daegan Page Foundation was built in the wake of personal loss, not as an idea, but as a promise—to carry on the life, love, and values of one Marine who gave everything. That origin shapes everything we do.
We are not a large, generalized organization. We are personal. We know the names. We sit with the families. We show up in the small moments and the hard ones. Our work is born from lived experience, not just a mission statement.
What makes us different:
- We lead with love, not bureaucracy. Every initiative is shaped by the belief that love never ends. We don’t just provide services; we create relationships.
- We honor both the fallen and the living. While Daegan’s sacrifice is our foundation, we serve the needs of those who continue to serve and those who carry the weight of loss.
- We build community, not just programs. From Gold Star family support to scholarships and service member outreach, we create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and remembered.
- We’re rooted in Daegan’s story. His values—loyalty, strength, humility, guide our decisions. We move with purpose, not just policy.
- We act locally and impact personally. While our mission reaches nationally, our presence is felt most in the one-on-one conversations, handshakes, and hugs at home.
