About The MBT Foundation

The Major Brent Taylor Foundation was launched on what would have been the 40th birthday of Major Brent Taylor, an officer in the Utah Army National Guard who was killed in action in Afghanistan in November of 2018 while on his fourth combat deployment.

Major Taylor’s memorial Foundation seeks to carry forward the legacy he left behind, and is based on three key principles:

TRAINING service-oriented leaders from all walks of life.
HONORING military members, first responders, and their families.
ENGAGING community members in meaningful acts of service.
