Fueled By The Fallen Vision Statement:

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.


Founder and Chairman - Kevyn Major Howard
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.
