Mission Statement
The USA KIA/DOW Family Foundation (USAKIA) is here to increase ability to demonstrate the strength of families with killed in action (KIA) or died of wounds (DOW) while in our U.S. Armed Forces. KIA family and public support through USAKIA programs such as membership, memorials, and direct support to KIA families will honor their memory, show gratitude, and provide America with social justice. We are there for the whole family, and we are also a unique organization begun by KIA family members, for USA KIA family members, and for us, every day is Memorial Day. "All gave some... Some gave all."

Chief Executive Profile:
Vincent H. Bartning, president, is the USA KIA/DOW Family Foundation's founder. Mr Bartning envisions relief of KIA families from the USA. A graduate of Regis University, San Francisco State University and De Anza College, he also has KIA in the family. Vincent completed his graduate degree (MS) in nonprofit management (MNM) from Regis University in 2011 and now attends law school in Ohio at Ohio Northern University. His grandfather, John Wallace Rich, was KIA December 15, 1944, and his cousin, Louis Bartning, was KIA on January 30, 1951, both U.S. Army volunteers. Besides the importance of KIA-family healing to him personally, the younger Bartning, our president, also served on a public board. He was elected by his neighbors to represent them on the San Jose Civic Plaza Project Area Committee (PAC), whose project area included San Jose's new city hall.
