Ft Riley Retiree Council

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We also remember the families who carry their legacy forward each day. For surviving spouses and dependents, education benefits such as Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) and the Fry Scholarship may be available to help support future educational goals.
