Edited to add: We've hit our goal!!!! We can't thank you enough for making this happen.  It was imperative to get Tyson home and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you!

Tyson and Nick first met each other during their MOS training in the Marine Corp. They became quick friends, exchanging stories about family, friends and life in general.  Nick was thoughtful, funny and an all around good dude. Tyson and Nick even got matching tattoos that say "Be a good dude" - something an combat instructor told them in basic training that really stuck with the two. Nick will be greatly missed by all of his friends and family.

Tyson is currently stationed in North Carolina and is trying to make it back for Nick's funeral next week.  Flights are available but for a pretty penny and we need to get him home so he can give his brother in arms a proper goodbye. Let's rally together to see if we can get him home.
