The Robert A. Pole Memorial Fund
was established after Robert's and three coworkers deaths in Basrah, Iraq on September 7th 2005. The four men had been working as security contractors.


The Robert A. Pole Memorial Fund has committed to four yearly scholarships, gifted to scholars graduating from each of the high schools of which Robert and his three fallen co-workers had attended.

Presently The Robert Pole Memorial Fund is providing medical insurance coverage to surviving contractors families.

Family donations have been gifted to the surviving co-workers families with dependants.

Please contact us at info@robertpolememorialfund.com if you or a family you know, may require assistance.

Thank you for all you support. God bless.
