Who we are:
Special Forces Chapter 75 serves as the Voice for the Special Forces San Diego Community. We strive to perpetuate Special Forces traditions and Brotherhood. We also work to advance the public image of Special Forces & promote the general welfare of the Special Forces Community. One way we do this is by raising funds for our annual Roger Donlon Scholarship awards for needy students, We also engage in other philantropic and/or social events. Chapter 75 is a chapter to the National Special Forces Association (SFA), a non-profit 501(c)(19) Veterans’ organization for current and retired Army Special Forces soldiers. The purpose for which the Association was formed was to unite, fraternally, all men who are now or ever have been assigned to the United States Army Special Forces, to perpetuate Special Forces traditions.
Other purposes for which the Association is formed are as follows:
To commemorate fittingly the memory of Special Forces troops who have given or shall give their lives in defense of the Free World.
To educate its members and the citizens of the United States in the proper development of Special Forces and to keep them abreast of new developments in the field of Special Forces as is consistent with Security regulations.
To assist in keeping Special Forces units adequate and powerful for the defense of the United States and the Free World by supporting the establishment of Special Forces in an appropriate relationship with the rest of the Army.
To encourage every member of the Association toward a closer personal relationship and a friendly spirit of cooperation.
To forward and promote the general welfare and prosperity of the members and to improve by all lawful means their status and conditions.
To be a source of inspiration and esprit de Corps for all Special Forces Units
