Everyday, in every way, California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation Scholarship recipient and college graduate Elizabeth Martinez honors her Fallen Hero father, CHP Officer Saul Martinez, Sr.  Elizabeth, who earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles and a Master's degree from California State University, San Diego, currently serves as the Transfer Center Coordinator at El Camino College Compton Center.

Elizabeth plans to return to school soon, to complete a doctoral degree.  Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the CHP 11-99 Foundation's donors, Elizabeth received significant Scholarship support from the 11-99 Foundation throughout her undergraduate and graduate student careers. 

Elizabeth is an amazing, inspiring and poignant testament to her father, who was killed in the Line of Duty, while out on patrol, protecting our families.  Forever remembered and forever honored, as the underside of her UCLA graduation mortar board so proudly indicates, Elizabeth loves her Dad!
