If there’s one word to describe Folds of Honor Scholarship Recipient, Ryan Hilton, it would be perseverance. Ryan lost his father, Lieutenant Lawrence David, a Navy Civil Engineer, when he was only six years old. However, even at six-years-old Ryan persevered, joining the Cub Scouts like his dad always wanted him to, eventually reaching the rank of Eagle Scout. As he got older, he continued to show that same perseverance and strength.
In Ryan’s first year as a Pre-Med student at James Madison University, Ryan lost sight in his right eye. After months of treatments and surgeries Ryan had a cornea transplant. Now, just one year removed from almost losing his sight Ryan has joined Phi Sigma Pi, an Honor Fraternity, and maintains a 3.9 GPA while balancing a full course load, daily medical treatments and his fraternal obligations. Ryan emulates perseverance and carries on Lieutenant David’s legacy in a way that makes all of us at Folds of Honor proud to count him amongst our recipients. He is well on his way to becoming a doctor and serving his community, giving those in need the hope and encouragement they need to persevere. We have no doubt he will be one of the best doctors in America!
