About Us
The Michael Wayne Hanks Legacy Foundation was founded in December 2023 by a family deeply connected to service, sacrifice, and the enduring impact of those who gave their lives in defense of our country. Named in honor of Lance Corporal Michael Wayne Hanks, who was killed in action during the Battle of Fallujah, the foundation is committed to supporting the veteran and Gold Star family communities while preserving the legacy of Michael and countless others who made the ultimate sacrifice.
