Peter,
Lieutenant Colonel Mario D. Carazo was a devoted father who spent weekends taking his children, Mario and Milla, to museums and coaching Mario’s soccer team. As a Marine, LtCol Carazo fulfilled his dreams of serving his country and becoming a pilot.
Tragically, in July 2010, LtCol Carazo was shot down and killed by enemy fire while flying a combat mission over Afghanistan, leaving behind Mario and Milla to grow up without their father.
The Carazo children continue to persevere and live to make their dad proud. Education was incredibly important for LtCol Carazo, and is a priority for Mario and Milla. It is our privilege to award scholarships to Mario and Milla and honor their father’s sacrifice.
With your help, Mario is continuing his father’s legacy. After he graduates this year from High Point University with a degree in Political Science and International Relations, Mario wants to become a Naval officer.
