As we celebrate America’s independence, we’re reminded of the strength, resilience and spirit that define our nation — and the Aggie Network.

Karoni Forrester’s father, Capt. Ronald Forrester ’69, was a proud Aggie and Marine aviator. Decades after he went missing during the Vietnam War, his story came full circle.

In this heartfelt video, Karoni '96 reflects on her family’s journey — and how the values of service, loyalty and hope reflect the American spirit we honor today.

Watch the full story at the link in bio.
