Nevada Patriot Fund
Nevadans felt pain and sorrow when two of their own died in Iraq on March 23, 2003.
Many Nevadans wanted to reach out and show support for Nevada troops.
The Nevada Patriot Fund was established soon after the United States' engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2003 by a group of private businessmen who wished to create a source of financial assistance for the families of Nevada servicemen killed in the line of duty. They succeeded in obtaining initial contributions from several leading companies and individuals and established the Nevada Patriot Fund as a tax-exempt corporation. Governor Kenny Guinn soon added the official endorsement of the Nevada Governor's Office with a personal contribution and announcement of support. The Fund has received invaluable assistance as well from such diverse sources as grade school classes, women’s clubs, and motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Nevada Patriot Fund, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, provides financial support to families of Nevada Military personnel who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combat zones.
