617 Names. One Promise to Remember.

Honoring the children of fallen service members with a promise that they are not forgotten.

Memorial Day is a time to remember the men and women who gave so much in service to our country—and to recognize that their families continue to carry their legacy long after they are gone.

During Memorial Day weekend in 2018, NASCAR driver Jeffrey Earnhardt took that remembrance onto the track at Charlotte Motor Speedway. His race car carried the names of 617 fallen service members, giving their families an opportunity to see their loved ones honored before thousands of race fans.

Among those families were the loved ones of Army Spc. George Manis and Army Spc. Garrett Briggs. For their children, remembering a parent is only one part of growing up without them. Organizations like Angels of America’s Fallen work to stand beside these children throughout their childhood, helping provide access to activities such as sports, music, art, swimming, martial arts, and other positive outlets where they can learn, grow, and build relationships with coaches and mentors.

Nine Line Apparel was grateful for the opportunity to support that mission. Working alongside Earnhardt, Nine Line offered a special “Remember the Fallen” shirt, with proceeds benefiting Angels of America’s Fallen. The campaign ultimately helped provide a $15,000 donation to the organization.

For us, the significance of that contribution was never about the amount on the check. It was about the children behind it—the sons and daughters growing up without a parent who served our country, and the people committed to making sure those children continue to have opportunities, encouragement, and support.

Remembering our fallen means more than preserving their names. It also means remembering the families who carry those names forward.
