Maj. Follansbee was an Airborne Ranger who subsequently earned his coveted Special Forces tab and Green Beret, thereafter becoming a HALO Airborne Team commander and HALO Jump Master. He served on multiple deployments in both Iraq and Afghanistan, earning two bronze stars among numerous other commendations. He was described by his peers as being not only highly dedicated and accomplished, but also humble, loyal and compassionate.

Tragically, Major Follansbee took his own life in December, 2012. His parents, Dr. and Mrs. William Follansbee, know firsthand the alarming statistics about suicide in the military and the challenges that many veterans face as they transition from military duty to civilian life.

For that reason, the Follansbee family established the Maj. Benjamin Follansbee Memorial Fund and in partnership with Animal Friends founded the Pittsburgh Chapter of Pets for Vets®. Its mission is to help veterans while at the same time saving homeless shelter animals – one veteran and one animal at a time.
