ORLANDO, Fla. - TelAve -- Vietnam veteran, author, and visionary Bruce Goldwell today announced a crowdfunding campaign to wrap his car as a bold ambassador vehicle for Starfighters Academy, the innovative online Cadet Program that turns science fiction into real-world training for the next generation.

Starfighters Academy blends thrilling space adventure storytelling with structured missions designed to build leadership, teamwork, discipline, STEM curiosity, confidence, and a service mindset. Young learners—teens, students, homeschoolers, youth groups, schools, libraries, and clubs—progress as "cadets" through phases: from Welcome Transmission and Orientation Briefings, to FRQ (Flight Readiness Qualification), and Phase Three specialization in paths like Tactical Operations, Command & Leadership, or Systems Engineering.

Inspired by Goldwell's Starfighters Defending Earth trilogy—a pulse-pounding YA space fantasy series where teen gamers become real starfighters defending Earth from alien threats—the Academy makes learning feel like an interstellar quest. Tagline: "Where imagination becomes training for the future."

The ambassador vehicle wrap will feature the Academy logo, cadet badges, book series highlights, and mission messaging, creating a rolling billboard that generates thousands of monthly impressions at events, community spots, and daily drives. Estimated cost: $2,300+.

"After serving in Vietnam and overcoming challenges, I've dedicated myself to igniting hope and purpose through stories," said Goldwell. "Starfighters Academy isn't just entertainment—it's empowerment. This wrapped car will spread the program far and wide, reaching kids who need tools for resilience and growth. Every supporter becomes part of the squadron."

Rewards include permanent name listings on the Squadron Supporters webpage at StarfightersAcademy.com, autographed paperbacks of the trilogy, credits in future Book III editions, and exclusive spots (limited to 2) featuring names/business links directly on the wrap.
