Pictures from car show honoring fallen Marine

Recommended Posts

Yesterday my family attended a charity car show at Knuckleheads Bar & Grill in Virginia Beach, VA for a local fallen Marine, LCpl. Cody Childers. He was killed overseas 3 years ago at the age of 19. I personally had never met him but know a lot of people who did. His family puts on car shows in his honor and also to raise money to send care packages to those who are still overseas.

Their Website:

We Care Marines

Here are some of the pictures (they aren't the best)

Thanks Tony. But soldiers are Army. :) Marines don't like being called soldiers haha.

I'm not sure how often they have them but we are going to start going to all of them. We went to one before but it was really small and didn't have judges or anything. Just showed up at a local chick fila and the food purchases went to the foundation.

I was stoked when we tied for second. Great day for the memory books for sure!!

Cars and pics are looking good! Great event to be a part of. Car's looking real clean! Only gripe would be to give the underside of the hood a fresh coat of white, with the hood strut brackets, it really makes the underside look its age

Call me a soldier one more time Tony and see how well that goes.

In another note, how much do you know about LCpl Childers? 3 years ago I was in Marjeh and that name sounds REALLY familiar to me. Do you know the unit and/or village? If you say Helmand, that won't help.

Edit: Nevermind. I remember him. I was with him at the Marjeh Offensive in 2010. We were with the 2nd Battalion 6th Marines. Although I didn't personally know him (Different Platoon) I sure do remember him as one of the first KIA when we got there.

Haha see [MENTION=106]tony[/MENTION] they get touchy haha.

Solar, there is info on the website I posted at the top about his unit and all. I don't know a ton about him unfortunately. I know he was in Marjeh from what I read on the site.

Thanks for the info. Sorry for the loss of a brother. It's a shame that he was killed at such a young age but he died with honor fighting for our freedom. We had a great time at the show and hope to attend more for him.

I have heard the story of LCpl Childers a few times. I want to say we recruited out of the same office, my recruiter knew him.

haha, he's got the "ghetto" version of my wing though. When I say ghetto, I mean $1000 versus $3000.. damn nascar crawford composites lol.

Pretty sweet though, I'd love to see more. Need more inspiration to get my lazy ass to work on a new splitter design, i have a spare roush bumper I'm going to "destroy" for the love of modification lol.

His front splitter has 2 adjustment rods right in the middle, nothing to help the outer edges, the wing in passing (Indian river is a narrow 2 lane road and the sun was headed down) looked a lot similar to yours, but was hard to tell. Car looked pretty good as I passed by it. Definitely thought of you though.

that's the same problem I'm having. I need reinforcement on the outside edges. I've got 3 rods in the middle but I want to figure out how to add more on the outside edge lol

Don't take what Solar says personally Tony, he doesn't mean it that way and the tone of his comment is lost thanks to the interwebs. This is just one of the WTF thing's he's posted on my facebook LOL:

"If this bitch would have done this, I would butt rape the fuck out of her and make sure she bleeds and cries. Then I would cum inside her and if she farts it out I would donkey punch her several times until my fist breaks. Finally I would literally kick her in the ass and throw a loaf of bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and ham and make sure she makes it with whatever fucking love she is talking about."

This is my boy Adam's car I watch him build that car from the ground up.

It sounded really good and he ripped on it when he left. Was spinning all the way down the street, haha. Let him know I got some shots of his car.

Yeah, he built a DSS 331 if I recall last winter and has been peaking and tweaking the car here and there. I will let him know.
