It was wonderful to see the outpouring of support here on SVTPerformance for Mark and his family after posting the terrible news about Mark being killed in Afghanistan. We have since learned that he also has a son Brett who is serving in the military at Ft Richardson Alaska. Brett has posted in our thread about how proud he is of his father. He shared with us the details and Mark is a true hero having saved 3 other fellow solders from the same fate. I have included links below.
As I mentioned in my prior post, we wanted to do something for Mark's family. A website and sticker have been created by mrfarmdog and BlkGT500nCA with the profits going to support Marks family. Because stickers, etc. is what these guys do it is almost all profit that will go to the family. A donation of $20 gets the sticker below. If you want more than one sticker you would just place multiple orders. Here is the link if you would like to join us in this effort. FallenHeros.us - Dedicated to those members of US Armed Forces that lost their lives serving for our country
The donations will be presented to his family during a ceremony at the 4th annual Pacific NW Meet & Greet on Memorial Weekend. A gathering of late model Shelby owners that Mark attended every year that is hosted by Grabber in Battleground, WA.
