Katie gives back by donating floral preservation to the spouses or immediate family of fallen Air Force Pararescuemen and Air Force Combat Controllers. Recognizing the impact of community support in times of tragedy, she hopes that this small gesture offers a bit of light during difficult times and shows deep appreciation for the families who endure the challenges of military service.
 

Pararescuemen are highly trained Air Force personnel specializing in the rescue and medical treatment of individuals in distress, often in challenging environments. Combat Controllers are specially trained to operate in hostile environments, where they establish airfields and coordinate air traffic control. Both Pararescuemen and Combat Controllers play vital roles in ensuring the safety and well-being of others, often in high-risk situations.

​

Recognizing the sacrifices made by Pararescuemen and Combat Controllers, giving back becomes not only a gesture of gratitude but also a way to support those who risk their lives for the greater good. Katie communicates directly with the families or through facilitation from the Pararescue Foundation.
