A team of local Mustang enthusiasts has united to restore the 1988 Ford Mustang GT, belonging to fallen U.S. Army, Special Forces Maj. Jeff Calero, as a mobile tribute to the Special Forces Major. Maj. Calero was killed in action by an IED October 29, 2007 while on a combat reconnaissance patrol in Kajaki, Afghanistan. He had planned to restore the car himself upon his return from active duty. The project was founded by Sgt. Fabio Falorni, of Methuen. Sgt. Falorni is a veteran of two tours of duty in Iraq. He is presently assigned to Reserve Duty at the Army National Guard Armory in Hudson, MA. He came across the Mustang belonging to Maj. Calero on October 29, 2008 while picking up supplies for his unit at the Army National Guard Amory in Springfield, MA.
Sgt. Falori saw the car sitting in a fenced in area behind the Armory. As a long time Mustang enthusiast, it piqued his curiosity as to why the car was there. When he inquired about it, he was told about how the car belonged to Maj. Calero who had been killed in action a year ago to that day. Upon Maj. Calero’s passing, the family did not know what to do with the car so it remained at the Springfield Armory where it had been parked since he deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. Sgt. Falorni was informed that Maj. Calero had often talked about his plans for the car upon his return from active duty. He was also told that the Commander of the Armory was looking to have the car towed away since the family didn’t claim it. Sgt. Falorni requested permission from the Commander and the Maj. Calero's family to restore the car. He also reached out to his fellow Mustang enthusiasts to recruit their help in restoring the Mustang. After 10 anxious days of waiting, he was granted permission to come and pick up the car.
Guys, we are accepting parts donations,money donations, and also selling T-shirts and Decals to fund money to restore major Calero's 1988 Mustang GT.

It's a great cause and project. With all due respect to the family and the Fallen Hero Maj. Jeff Calero, one thing I don't really understand is why will it be given back to the Family? Considering they never really claimend/cared for it and it sat at the Armory for so long. Restored, it will then sit again in a garage? I understand the significance that this might represent for the parents to complete a project that Maj. Jeff Calero wasn't able to complete. Restored, I'd say donate it to his high school, and let them auction it off to someone who will put it to use with the proceeds going to a scholarship fund under Maj. Jeff Calero's name. I'm sure Calero wanted to see this thing completed and ripping through gears. All done under Maj. Jeff Calero Honor. JMO With that said I will buy some of the merchandise to help you guys out. Good luck with the project keep us posted.
