Nick was a graduate of Norwich University and had served in the United States Marine Corps for over eight years.

In the last 18 months the \\u2060Guns Garin Memorial Foundation\\u2060 has given away over $150,000 to veteran families in need and are on track to give away their 20th flight school scholarship. They are passionately committed to their mission to care uniquely for veterans and their families, and inspire the next generation of pilots.\\n\\nMajor Richard Charles \\u201cGUNS\\u201d Garin (Rick) was a loving, dedicated, and accomplished person who made the world a better place wherever he went. He was an incredible husband, father, brother, son, friend, and pilot. "Guns" was an F-16 Fighter Pilot/Weapons Officer at McEntire Air National Guard Base and passed away suddenly in July of 2020. Several of his friends and wife came together and founded GGMF. The Guns Garrin Memorial Foundation has two missions. First, we are here to support local military families during times of hardship. Second, the foundation exists to help educate and encourage youth to explore a career in aviation. This organization was founded to honor his life and to inspire other young aspiring pilots to follow in his footsteps. The members of our board see the importance of preserving his memory through the efforts of the Foundation. \\n\\nGuns Garin Memorial Foundation: https://gunsgarin.com/\\n*Learn more about \\xa0@e3aviationassociation612\\xa0 https://bit.ly/E3Aviation\\n\\n---\\n\\n*Learn more about E3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3Aviation\\n*Support the Channel Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theafterburnpodcast \\nOr by hitting the \\u201cSuper Thanks\\u201d above \\n*Shop Merch https://bit.ly/ShopAfterburnPodcast\\nLaunch Your Aviation Career with BogiDope :https://bit.ly/BogiDope 5% OFF with code "Afterburn" \\n\\n---\\nContact Me\\nEmail: https://bit.ly/contactTAP\\nWebsite: https://bit.ly/AfterburnWebsite\\n\\n---\\nAudio Links:\\n*Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3dLradT\\n*Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3SAeSUr\\n*Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3xWf74o\\n*Podcast Addict: https://bit.ly/3fooCTm
