Tyler Kreinz Memorial Scholarship
Tyler Richard Kreinz, of Beloit, Wisconsin, age 21, gave the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of his country and friends. The events of 9/11 impacted young Tyler greatly and he knew then that he wanted to become a part of the Unite States Army. Following graduation from Beloit Memorial High School in 2008, Tyler enlisted in the US Army and went to Fort Knox for his basic training. He earned the rank of Specialist and became a part of the Armored Division as a Tanker and Army Scout.
In January 2011, Tyler and his unit were deployed to the Uruzgan Province of Afghanistan. Tyler’s job was to provide forward support for units moving into unsecured areas. He provided reconnaissance in these unsecured and dangerous areas to ensure that travel for the forward units was safe. After his service to his country, Tyler looked forward to enrolling in college and pursue his dream of a career with the Department of Natural Resources as a conservation warden On June 18, 2011, while on a night mission, Tyler died in the line of duty.
Tyler’s dedication to the love of country, service to others, and commitment to the conservation ethic is a shining example for all of us. Conservation Wardens have served their country in every military conflict dating back to the US Civil War. Tyler is part of this tradition.
