"Nicholas Aaron Madrazo Endearing Service" (N.A.M.E.S.)

The N.A.M.E.S. Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to honoring the life and memory of 1st Lt. Nicholas Aaron Madrazo, USMC. He was killed by a roadside bomb along with Capt. Jessie Melton (USMC), HM3 Eichmann Strickland (a medic), and an Afghan interpreter on Sept. 9, 2008 in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan. His life ended that day but the influence Nicholas had on so many people has inspired the N.A.M.E.S. Foundation's beginning.

There are close to 50,000 American soldiers injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.  The goal of the NAMES Foundation this year is to raise funds to unite injured soldiers with their families by helping cover the airfare cost for loved ones to visit their wounded soldier in a hospital or medical recovery center away from home.  Funds raised will ensure that injured soldiers are receiving the company that they deserve!
