Our memorial fund that was set up to honor our son, LCpl Cody S. Childers, a 19 year old Marine KIA on August 20, 2010 while serving in Afghanistan. The LCpl.

Cody S. Childers Memorial Fund was set up by my family to honor our son, Cody, who was a 19 year old Marine killed in action while fighting in Afghanistan for America. He was living his dream of being a Marine and loved his Marine brothers. Cody had a big heart and was concerned when fellow Marines with him were not getting care packages so he asked us to send extras, which we did. We know he woul

d want us to continue to support his Marines, so we send care packages to the deployed battalions. To date (3-14-2013) we have mailed 2219 care packages. We know Cody is smiling down on us and all his supporters of his Memorial Fund. We will continue to share Cody's story with everyone we meet everyday. He is an American Hero!
