Actor Kevyn Major Howard attended the awards ceremony and took a moment to offer his accolades to the many up-and-coming filmmakers, writers, directors and more. Howard also took the stage to speak about a care dear to his heart, the Fueled by the Fallen nonprofit organization he created after the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) – A special tour came to Las Vegas. The 9/11 Angel Cars arrived Friday.

Imagined into reality by a life long drag racer, the cars commemorate those who lost their lives on that terrible day 10 years ago.

Filled with the names of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, organizers say there isn’t a town they visit that isn’t touched by the vehicles.

The cars will be in Las Vegas throughout the weekend…

KABUL, Afghanistan — The killing of an American serviceman in an exchange of fire with allied Afghan soldiers pushed U.S. military deaths in the war to 2,000, a cold reminder of the perils that remain after an 11-year conflict that now garners little public interest at home.

Fueled By The Fallen continues to lend our hand to support Law Enforcement personnel and Military Veterans.

Dakota Meyer is the first living U.S. Marine to receive the Medal of Honor in 42 years, and he has written a compelling new book about the war in Afghanistan and the day he earned his medal with incredible acts of bravery on the battlefield.

For those of you who don’t know Fueled By The Fallen was honored to be a part of the movie premier of ‘Until They Are Home’. If you would like to check out a video of that premier please go to this link and view that wonderful event with the 9/11 Angels and Kevyn Major Howard:

Soon To Be Gone by Capt. Steven Ellison, MD
A Military Doctor

This should be required reading in every school and college in our country. This Captain, an Army doctor, deserves a medal himself for putting this together. If you choose not to pass it on, fine, but I think you will want to, after you read it.

I am a doctor specializing in the Emergency Departments of the only two military Level One-Trauma Centers, both in San Antonio , TX and they care for civilian Emergencies as well as military personnel. San Antonio has the largest military retiree population in the world living here. As a military doctor, I work long hours and the pay is less than glamorous. One tends to become jaded by the long hours, lack of sleep, food, family contact and the endless parade of human suffering passing before you. The arrival of another ambulance does not mean more pay, only more work. Most often, it is a victim from a motor vehicle crash.

Often it is a person of dubious character who has been shot or stabbed. With our large military retiree population, it is often a nursing home patient. Even with my enlisted service and minimal combat experience in Panama , I have caught myself groaning when the ambulance brought in yet another sick, elderly person from one of the local retirement centers that cater to military retirees. I had not stopped to think of what citizens of this age group represented.

I saw ‘Saving Private Ryan.’ I was touched deeply. Not so much by the carnage, but by the sacrifices of so many. I was touched most by the scene of the elderly survivor at the graveside, asking his wife if he’d been a good man. I realized that I had seen these same men and women coming through my Emergency Dept. and had not realized what magnificent sacrifices they had made. The things they did for me and everyone else that has lived on this planet since the end of that conflict are priceless.

Situation permitting, I now try to ask my patients about their experiences. They would never bring up the subject without the inquiry. I have been privileged to an amazing array of experiences, recounted in the brief minutes allowed in an Emergency Dept. encounter. These experiences have revealed the incredible individuals I have had the honor of serving in a medical capacity, many on their last admission to the hospital.

There was a frail, elderly woman who reassured my young enlisted medic, trying to start an IV line in her arm. She remained calm and poised, despite her illness and the multiple needle-sticks into her fragile veins. She was what we call a ‘hard stick.’ As the medic made another attempt, I noticed a number tattooed across her forearm. I touched it with one finger and looked into her eyes. She simply said, ‘ Auschwitz .’ Many of later generations would have loudly and openly berated the young medic in his many attempts. How different was the response from this person who’d seen unspeakable suffering.

Also, there was this long retired Colonel, who as a young officer had parachuted from his burning plane over a Pacific Island held by the Japanese. Now an octogenarian, he had a minor cut on his head from a fall at his home where he lived alone. His CT scan and suturing had been delayed until after midnight by the usual parade of high priority ambulance patients. Still spry for his age, he asked to use the phone to call a taxi, to take him home, and then he realized his ambulance had brought him without his wallet. He asked if he could use the phone to make a long distance call to his daughter who lived 7 miles away. With great pride we told him that he could not, as he’d done enough for his country and the least we could do was get him a taxi home, even if we had to pay for it ourselves. My only regret was that my shift wouldn’t end for several hours, and I couldn’t drive him myself.

I was there the night M/Sgt Roy Benavidez came through the Emergency Dept. for the last time. He was very sick. I was not the doctor taking care of him, but I walked to his bedside and took his hand. I said nothing. He was so sick, he didn’t know I was there. I’d read his Congressional Medal of Honor citation and wanted to shake his hand. He died a few days later.

The gentleman who served with Merrill’s Marauders,

the survivor of the Bataan Death March,

the survivor of Omaha Beach ,

the 101 year old World War I veteran.

The former POW held in frozen North Korea

The former Special Forces medic – now with non-operable liver cancer

the former Viet Nam Corps Commander.

I may still groan when yet another ambulance comes in, but now I am much more aware of what an honor it is to serve these particular men and women.

I have seen a Congress who would turn their back on these individuals who’ve sacrificed so much to protect our liberty. I see later generations that seem to be totally engrossed in abusing these same liberties, won with such sacrifice.

It has become my personal endeavor to make the nurses and young enlisted medics aware of these amazing individuals when I encounter them in our Emergency Dept. Their response to these particular citizens has made me think that perhaps all is not lost in the next generation.

My experiences have solidified my belief that we are losing an incredible generation, and this nation knows not what it is losing. Our uncaring government and ungrateful civilian populace should all take note. We should all remember that we must ‘Earn this.’

A MILITARY DOCTOR

And now as you have finished reading this, our Congress that enjoys
their free medical care are in the process of charging these people for their medical care and at the same time possibly reducing their retirement pay. A typical political “thank you.”

This should be required reading in every school and college in our country. This Captain, an Army doctor, deserves a medal himself for putting this together. If you choose not to pass it on, fine, but I think you will want to, after you’ve read it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Victorious Project presents A Ride to the Wall – the 25TH Anniversary of veterans’ national road trip sponsored by Northern California Road Trip Bar & Grill.
Woodland, California – April 3, 2012 – On Saturday, April 28th, 2012, from noon to 8pm, Road Trip Bar & Grill in Capay Valley, California will be hosting a benefit for Fueled by the Fallen. A 501(C)3 non-profit organization, Fueled by the Fallen was started by Kevyn Major Howard, “Rafterman” from Stanley Kubrick’s blockbuster film Full Metal Jacket. “In 2007, I was watching the nightly news as they announced that twelve died this day and seven that day,” Howard remembers. “I woke up one morning and challenged myself to name just one person who had died for my freedom. I couldn’t.”
Along with life-long drag racer and former National Go Kart Champion Chuck Spiker, Howard created a memorial car – a 1963 Nova – and created a ten-second quarter mile door slammer drag car representing fallen Marines from Iraq and Afghanistan. “Maybe I can get people who look upon this race car, with the names of 867 fallen Marines, to remember just one name. If I can do that, I have accomplished my mission,” shares Howard.
Today, Fueled by the Fallen has a number of memorial cars, including a cruiser featuring the names of 477 Los Angeles County peace officers who have fallen in action since 1850. And in May, a Fueled by the Fallen vehicle will be accompanying Harry Bostard, a Vietnam War veteran, as he makes his way across the country on the Air Force bike – one of five motorcycles representing each branch of the military. Bostard will be joining fellow Vietnam War veterans for the 25th anniversary of Rolling Thunder and celebrating 30 years of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. “I get an immense feeling of freedom when I am out there with my knees in the breeze. That is what we fought for – freedom; even if we were not given a hero’s welcome when we returned home,” exclaims Bostard.
Capturing this momentous event will be accomplished by the use of “the world’s most versatile camera,” the GoPro® camera. Featured in an upcoming documentary, Presented by The Victorious Project®, viewers will be able to experience this unprecedented journey through the eyes of the riders. “With GoPros mounted on Bostard’s bike and helmet, you’ll be a part of this cross-country procession. We’re pleased to have the support of Road Trip Bar & Grill, Belt Drives Limited, and GoPro® promoting this journey and the non-profits who serve our veterans,” cites Gerald Macias, Executive producer for The Victorious Project®.
This is your chance to personally meet Harry Bostard, and Brad Masterson, a new breed of kustomizer who stays true to old school and learned at a very early age from the masters – George Barris and Bill Hines. Joining Bostard and Masterson and the Road Trip will be Nic Ashby, SEMA award winner and owner of LDRSHIP designs and RockStarGarage.
“Our family has always been part of the military, and Road Trip Bar and Grill is honored to be part of The Victorious Project®, Fueled by the Fallen, and Rolling Thunder – A Ride to the Wall. Stop by the Road Trip Bar and Grill from noon to 8pm on April 28th to show your support for our nation’s heroes as they begin their journey to DC,” invite Jerry and Paula Tackett, owners of Road Trip.

Terry McMillen has come agonizingly close the past two years to making the Top Fuel Countdown to the Championship field. And the chance to be one of 10 to compete for the ultimate prize, the supreme satisfaction, has become his sole mission — until now.

As he starts his third season in the National Hot Rod Association, the Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owner-driver has a greater cause. It reaches out far beyond his Elkhart, Ind., headquarters, branches out past the gates to any racetrack, goes straight from his heart to the heart of America. He is not only saying thank-you to veterans of all wars and conflicts. He’s paying more than lip service.

McMillen will debut a second dragster this spring, the Armed Forces Racing Dragster, likely at the Las Vegas or Charlotte race. The dragster will run in honor of veterans all across the country and be used to draw attention to veteran issues. McMilen’s outreach will also include job fairs for veterans at each NHRA race.

“Partial funding is in place right now to do selected races. Our ultimate goal is to fund the program for the entire year,” McMillen said.

He said he will announce the driver of the Armed Forces Racing Dragster in the near future.

“Terry will have a team with a mission,” Rick Ecker, president and CEO of Armed Forces Racing, said.

Ecker visited with McMillen, appropriately enough, last Veterans Day weekend at the NHRA Finals at Pomona, Calif., and shared that Armed Forces Racing is about meeting the needs of all veteran service members. And McMillen adopted the objective.

“Armed Forces Racing is about more than just racing. It’s about community outreach. It’s about educating the American people about our veterans and the issues that they face,” Ecker said. “For the last couple of years, I’ve been looking for the right team to associate the Armed Forces Racing brand with. Terry completely — completely — embraced what we were doing and our cause.”

Said McMillen, “I’m blessed to be doing what I’m doing, and in life, you’ve got to pay it forward.”

McMillen added a unique element to the deal: a job fair at each NHRA venue as part of his hospitality offering.

“One of the things Terry told me last November he wanted to do, what he thought would be a cool thing, is to create a job fair for veterans,” Ecker said.

Jesse Medina of the Association of the U.S. Army — a private, non-profit educational organization that supports America’s Army and its families — will spearhead the job fair program.

Ecker said that during the past couple of months, besides McMilen and his Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team, he has met a number of people who share his desire to help veterans.

“I recently hosted a ‘mini summit’ at my home in Virginia, where I brought in the founder of Fueled by the Fallen, Kevyn Major Howard; the founder of Vet Hunters, Joe Leal; Chris Johnson, of First Foundation, an investment company in southern California; and a few friends with whom who I’ve shared the Armed Forces Racing vision,” Echer said. Those gathered understood the mission. They understood the cause. They understood the problems. Then they said, ‘How could we fix it?’ Tie in all of those issues, tie in the Vet Hunters program, tie in Fueled by the Fallen, tie in the job fairs . . . We figured out a way to do it: through motorsports,” he said.

Several companies have pledged support to the program, but more is needed. McMillen continues to work with the NHRA to make sure the job fairs will function smoothly.

Whoever drives the 7,000-horsepower Armed Forces Racing Dragster won’t be overwhelmed by its raw, brute strength. What will overwhelm that racer, undoubtedly, will be the idea that he will be a huge public voice with an attention-getting platform for such a special and deserving group of Americans.

“People pay attention to motorsports. People are intrigued by motorsports. And motorsports carries a pretty important and powerful message,” Ecker said.

To clarify, Ecker said, “Armed Forces Racing is a private venture and is not affiliated with the Department of Defense and does not receive federal funding.” AFR, he indicated, continually works with additional marketing partners to join in supporting the race team.

Ecker also said that AFR “is working on a line of apparel and merchandise, as well as a membership element to the race team, which in time will provide funding for the team. It is the goal to have AFR become one of (if not the first) self-funded programs on the racing circuit and provide a team that is truly dedicated to the men and women in uniform, past and present.

“There’s one more key element to this puzzle. It’s a non-profit organization that I started a couple of years ago called Veterans’ Hope,” Ecker said. It’s “an umbrella organization that reaches out to hundreds of thousands of non-profit organizations and veteran-owned businesses and pulls them together into one voice.” These private-sector groups and agencies give hard-core, real-world assistance to U.S. military service members and their families. Right now, about 45 organizations are under this umbrella, but more organizations are joining the partnership every day.

“Veterans’ Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Money is raised through corporate and personal donation, as well as from Armed Forces Racing,” Ecker said. “The Job Fair hosted by Veterans’ Hope, in cooperation with the NHRA, Terry McMillen Racing, and Armed Forces Racing, is being funded by the corporations attending the job fair.”

Division officer. Photo by Barbara Ellestad.

Chances are you’ve seen a highly decorated, souped-up car around Mesquite the last few weeks. If you have, that would be Steve Elliott behind the wheel of a 2010 Camaro that’s part of a fleet of cars honoring those killed on Sept. 11, 2001.

Founded by Kevyn Major Howard who played ‘Rafterman’ in the movie ‘Full Metal Jacket,’ the organization Fueled by the Fallen, has designed four similar cars, each one dedicated to a specific group of people who died in the terrorists attacks on the U.S. in 2001.

Elliott pilots the car dedicated to the group who died in one of the Twin Towers in New York City. Another car honors those in the second Twin Tower, one for the First Responders, one for the Pentagon, and the fifth car honors those who were on American Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.

The names of those lost are painted on the cars as a way to remember the tragedy.

“I’m here for a couple days and then I’ll be back in town off and on during the racing season,” Elliott explained. When he’s not in Mesquite, he’s on the road with his memorial car visiting National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) racing events around the country. “At least one of the five cars will attend all 23 events this season with the NHRA.”

“We’re working on teaming up with the Mesquite Police Department to take this car and their show car to the Virgin Valley High School for a special program,” Elliott explained.

Indeed, Justin Goodsell, MPD Traffic Division Officer, was with Elliott working on the details of the high school visit. “We want to use our ‘Beat the Heat’ racing for education program to show young people that there are alternatives to drugs and street racing. We want to work with them and get them moving in a positive direction,” Goodsell explained.

Elliott mentioned many of the celebrity endorsements the Fueled by the Fallen organization has received from, among others, Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Arizona Senator John McCain.

“What we really want is an endorsement from the kids we visit,” Elliott added.

“Not only are we honoring those who died Sept. 11, but we’re working with military veterans,” Elliott explained. “Some of us helped feed homeless Vets in the Los Angeles area and took them to the NHRA races. We also help Vets find jobs when they come home from the military.”

“If there are any businesses interested in displaying the car at their location, we’re willing to work with them,” he commented.

According to the Web site www.FueledByTheFallen.org, Howard “challenged himself in 2007 to name just one Hero that had died for his freedom. “I was watching the nightly news as they announced that 12 died this day and 7 that day”, Kevyn said. “I woke up one morning and challenged myself to name just one person who has died for my freedom”, he continued. “I couldn’t.”

From that point, Howard helped design and paint cars that have honored military personnel from all four branches who died in Iraq and Afghanistan, fallen police officers, and others.

If you wish to donate to the program, the organization is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity. Visit www.FueledByTheFallen.org for more information.

In April, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, and Huck Seed embarked on a USO Tour, becoming the first poker players to visit troops in the Middle East through an engagement arranged by the Poker Players Alliance. A precedent between poker and the military was established, and now a select group of military servicemen have banded together to use poker as a vehicle to help raise awareness and funds for charitable causes. They have created the Patriot Poker Players (3P) group.

ONTARIO – Kevyn Major Howard is on a journey. He wants to remind Americans of the achievements and sacrifices made by military and public safety personnel since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Howard is accomplishing that through a series of police cruisers, known as the “Angels Cars,” that are inscribed with the names of fallen firefighters, police officers and military personnel from 9/11.

On Thursday, Howard brought his mission to Ontario when two of the vehicles from the series – Pentagon and First Responders – were on display in front of the Ontario Rotary Police Museum.

“It was my wakeup call to America,” Howard said.

His inspiration for the vehicle came from personal experience, he explains.

CONCORD, N.C. (March 20, 2009) – A pair of nitro-burning NHRA Funny Cars dedicated to the memory of U.S. military personnel killed in service of their country during the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts will be displayed during the April 2-5 Food Lion AutoFair at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

War memorials take many forms. The Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., are two examples that remind millions of visitors each year that their freedom comes at a very high price. Traditionally, years pass after the end of fighting before such monuments are constructed – the memorial wall listing dead and missing Vietnam soldiers did not open until 1982 – but Kevyn Major Howard wanted to remind the public of the sacrifices military personnel are making right now.

GULFPORT — Five 9/11 Angel Cars that honor the victims and first responders of the 9/11 terrorist attacks will make an unscheduled stop at Cruise Central today from about 1-4 p.m. and then lead the antique car parade in Long Beach, which starts at 5:30 p.m.
“This is very special,” said Woody Bailey, director of Cruisin’ the Coast. He said the cars participated in the Fireball Run, a road race that ended in Gulfport on Saturday. Transportation problems have them staying in South Mississippi beyond what the expected time — a gain for Cruisin’ the Coast.
The pearl white Camaros debuted on the front lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. and also made stops at the Pentagon and Walter Reed Medical Center and Arlington National Cemetery. The cars were part of the 9/11 ceremony in New York before setting off on a cross-country tour.
One car honors the first responders at Ground Zero, two represent the twin Trade Towers, another commemorates those lost at the Pentagon and the fifth Angel Car honors the flight victims lost on board each of the four flights. In recognition, each Angel Cruiser lists the names of every victim lost on that day.

SymbolArts was contacted by Kevyn Major Howard, “Rafterman” from the film Full Metal Jacket, after he came across our 9-11 Ten-Year Commemorative artworks online. Since then, we have collaborated our efforts with Fueled by the Fallen, a non-profit founded by Mr. Howard, to tell the stories of 9-11.

Repost from Rachel H. Goldman: here

A patriotic trio made a pit stop last Wednesday at the Kennebunkport home of former President George H.W. Bush.

An American flag-painted Jeep led two 9/11 Angel Cars, each with thousands of hand painted names of Sept. 11 victims, through Kennebunkport to the Bush compound at Walker’s Point during the Maine-leg of the caravan’s journey across country.

The caravan is part of a memorial tour, Crossing of America, presented by Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors and Spirit of Liberty Foundation. The ride began on Memorial Day as the fleet departed from the deck of the USS Midway in San Diego.

Ninety-seven days and more than 18,000 miles later, the cars arrived in Maine with less than two weeks to go before concluding their trip at Sept. 11 10th anniversary commemoration ceremonies in New York City.

The tour has passed through 44 states and met with hundreds of families of soldiers who were wounded or killed while serving.

“The emotional part of this whole thing has been the number of families of fallen heroes and wounded warriors that we have seen,” said Crossing of America Founder Richard Rovsek.

Rovsek last year dreamed up the cross-country trek to support soldiers and their families.

Rovsek before the trip began e-mailed Gold Star Families, families with members who have died serving in the military.

“We had lists and we must have sent out thousands of e-mails and they responded in such large numbers,” he said.

David Ojena, a 21-year-old San Diego State college student working for Crossing of America, said the emotional journey has been far more tiring than the physical one.

“We’ve met a lot of families and some of them have lost someone less than 60 days ago,” he said. “That’s the emotional part, it’s the hardest part. The drive time is nothing. The long days are nothing. Meeting with parents and widows and talking about the loss of a loved one is by far the toughest part. But it’s also the most meaningful part at the same time.”

Spirit of Liberty Foundation last spring bought two Jeeps and had award-winning airbrush artist Kiwi Terry spray paint them in honor of the American flag.

Kevyn Major Howard, founder of the nonprofit Fueled by the Fallen, a memorial race car honor tour that supports military members and public safety personnel, joined the tour.

Howard added five 9/11 Angel Cars to The Crossing of America fleet: two represent those killed in the Twin Towers, another represents those killed at the Pentagon, a fourth commemorate first responders killed at the scene and the fifth represents all passengers killed on the three hijacked flights.

California Car Culture Remembers Sept. 11 Victims

A Glendale man has created a tribute to the victims of September 11th on five “Angel Cars”

A Glendale man honors the victims of 9-11 with 5 Angel cars that will be on display in New York and Washington, DC.

At first glance, five Chevy Camaros lined along a Glendale street look like they’re part of a muscle car show.

But a closer look reveals the cars are there as a show of support for the families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

“Inscribed onto these cars are those that fell on that particular day,” said Kevyn Major Howard, founder of the “Fueled by the Fallen” organization.

Howard and his organization placed the names of each victim of Sept. 11, 2001 on the five cars to remember those who died and the sacrifices their families have made since the attack 10 years ago.

From KT: “I just wanted to share that I saw Angel 1 and 4 on I-95 S when I was traveling from Maine to NH. When I saw them, I was just hit in the chest with how beautiful they are and how important they are. Thank you for sharing them on the roads and not hiding them on a truck. I would love to see them if you are ever touring in S. NH. Safe travels.”
