Karoni Forrester '96 shares a deeply personal story about her father, Captain Ronald Forrester ’69, a Texas A&M graduate and Marine aviator who was declared missing in action during the Vietnam War when she was just 2 years old. For over five decades, Karoni carried the weight of not knowing what happened to him.

In this moving tribute, she recounts the moments of hope, heartbreak and finally, peace when her father’s remains were returned home after 51 years. Karoni reflects on what it means to honor his legacy, the support of the Aggie community, and the powerful connection forged through shared service and sacrifice.

This video highlights Texas A&M’s commitment to remembering and supporting veterans and their families, showcasing how the university continues to stand by those who serve.
