Fueled By The Fallen Memorial Race Car American Road Tour
October 29, 2008 by Claudia
Fueled by the Fallen is a non-profit organization developed to both honor and pay tribute to the United States Service Members who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of others. A moving monument, The Memorial Race Car Team has been created to epitomize their sacrifices. Funds will be raised in conjunction with the team and will be given to the families who have lost sons, daughters, husbands, and wives in the War on Terrorism. It is our mission to give back to the families of our fallen heroes and create awareness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.
In addition, Fueled by the Fallen will focus on supporting organizations that address Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) as well as family treament for proper re-integration of our Service Members back into society.
Through the inspiration of acclaimed actor Kevyn Major Howard, “Rafterman” in the Warner Bros. picture Full Metal Jacket, these moving monuments have developed a strong foundation. Mr. Howard converted his classic Chevy Nova drag race cars into incredible mobile memorials for the fallen Marines in Iraq. The names of all the fallen Marines are proudly displayed on the flagship car. Two other cars, in uniform fashion, bear the Marine Corps name and slogan, “The Few, The Proud.” Together they make up the Marine Corps’ Fueled by the Fallen Memorial Race Car Team. Our organization’s mission is to build out memorial cars for all branches of our Armed Forces, bring these cars to the public, and develop other prospects that will generate money to give to the families of the fallen.
The Memorial Race Car Team will be working on two fronts:
1. We will be racing our top race cars to compete, bring awareness and win in NHRA drag racing venues across the nation.
2. In addition we will be traveling across the nation to bring the Memorial Race Cars to every major city in the United States and beyond. Also, we have preliminary approval to take the race cars to Iraq for the Christmas Holiday to show our Troops that America still supports them!
The Race Car Team was developed to generate awareness ad revenue and support the Fueled By the Fallen cause. Money will be raised to give back to the families who have lost sons, daughters, husbands and wives in the Iraq war. It is our mission to honor those soldiers, give back to their families and create awareness of those who sacrificed themselves to defend our freedom as Americans.
Multiple revunue streams are developed including sales of a documentary that is presently being produced, sales from memorabilia and other avenues to continue to support our Troops for as long as necessary. What They Do - We support our Troops by making appearances throughout America with the Memorial Race Car Road Tour. We display and perform to honor our fallen servicemen and women, and raise monies to help support the families of the fallen. If you have an event where you would like the Memorial Race Cars to make an appearance please visit our contact page and let us know!
“Broken But Not Defeated” - Although many service members will return from their deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq tarnished both mentally and physically, it is Fueled by the Fallen’s mission to ensure their rehabilitation and provid them with the best opportunity to succeed in life.
The Rose Bowl Stadium invited the Memorial Race Cars to be a part of the pre-game fan festival for the Rose Bowl Game to be aired on ABC and ESPN January 1, 2009.
