During the 2025 Air Force vs Army game, we honored the Roland family, the Gold Star family of USAF Capt Matthew D. Roland, STO, as the 2025 recipient of the Combat Control Foundation’s MSgt John A. Chapman “Service Before Self” Award.

Captain Matthew D. Roland, a 2010 U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and Special Tactics Officer was killed-in-action alongside Combat Controller Staff Sergeant Forrest B. Sibley on August 26, 2015, in Afghanistan. Capt Roland's heroism during the attack earned him the Silver Star, and his courage continues to inspire.

Through the Matthew Roland Foundation, his parents, Mark and Barbara Roland and his sister Erica Roland, have carried forward his legacy—supporting scholarships that build servant leadership and develop future leaders.

Accepting the award on behalf of the family was Capt Roland’s father, USAF Col (Ret) Mark Roland. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this presentation possible.

This year’s award was presented by:
Terry Chapman, mother of MSgt John Chapman
Kevin Chapman, brother of MSgt John Chapman
Nathan Pines, Director of Athletics, U.S. Air Force Academy
Andrea Dellinger, Executive Director, Combat Control Foundation
