Fans may submit information about a fallen hero killed in the line of duty, a prisoner of war, or one who is missing in action and never returned home. A decal with the fallen hero’s name on it will be placed on each car competing in the Oak River Realty Race Night event on Saturday night, May 30 at South Boston Speedway.

“For us as a team at Mincey’s Graphics, having ties with our military in family, friends and clients, we want to never take for granted the lives of all of the brave men and women that dedicated their all with sacrificing their lives for this great godly country we are honored to live in,” said Mincey’s Graphics owner Chris Mincey. “To be free and able to do things such as grassroots racing, running a small-town business, and having employees that are great enough to call family, we don’t want to take one single day without remembering these individuals that served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. God bless our country, the ones at rest, and their loved ones.”

“We are extremely proud to partner with Mincey’s Graphics to hold this special observance,” said South Boston Speedway General Manager Brandon Brown. “The sacrifice by the brave fallen heroes of our military was the ultimate act of love for our country and our freedom.
