LINTHICUM, MD, July 1, 2017— NFM Lending is pleased to honor William Saylors as the NFM Salute for July 2017.

William started his military career as a U.S. Marine in 1955, and served until 1959. He was known for his generosity and willingness to help others. William passed away in December 2016, survived by his wife of 50 years, Susan, and his four children. He was nominated for the NFM Salute by his son, Jeffrey Saylors.

“William was not only my father, but someone I could trust as a friend,” said Jeffrey. “There was never a time he would not make a sacrifice for anyone. He was not self-serving; he was a giver. The loss of my father made me revisit my core values, and I’m looking forward to adopting every gift he has given me. Now I can continue the tradition of being a loyal friend and confidant to everyone, just as he was. I salute him today and every day!”

LINTHICUM, MD, April 1, 2017— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Debbie Turrill as the NFM Salute for April 2017.

Turrill joined the Air National Guard in August 1993, enlisting as a Personnel Specialist.

“Debbie is hardworking, dedicated, and loves her work,” said Skaff. “She flies many missions all over the world, putting herself in harm’s way when duty calls. She is also an animal lover and, along with caring for her own pets, she fosters homeless animals and gets them ready for a home that she’ll find for them. She has a big heart, and I couldn’t ask for a better friend.”

LINTHICUM, MD, March 1, 2017— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Bryce Chambers as the NFM Salute for March 2017.

Since age 10, Bryce Chambers wanted to serve in the military. On May 8, 2015, his 20th birthday, Chambers began 16 weeks of basic training in addition to infantry training, with the goal of becoming an infantryman. He graduated in August 2015, and was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. Chambers is a grenadier, specializing in explosives, and was recently promoted to an E4. In December of 2015, he married his high school sweetheart, Rachel, and she joined him in Hawaii.

Chambers was nominated by his mother, Jane Chambers, along with Greg Cowart, an NFM Lending Branch Manager in Richmond, VA.

“Bryce has always told us that he wanted to serve in the military,” said Jane Chambers. “When I asked him why he felt so strongly about joining the Army, his response was, ‘I feel like as a citizen of the United States of America, it is my duty to serve at least four years in the military!’ If I am totally honest, thinking of my youngest son serving in the Army scared me beyond measure. While my heart burst with pride during his Advanced Individual Training graduation, the realization that my son was willing to lay his life down on the line for his country was breathtaking. Words simply are not enough to express how proud Keith and I are of our youngest son: Bryce, my soldier, my hero!”

LINTHICUM, MD, February 1, 2017— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Lea Everette as the NFM Salute for February 2017.

Everette is a Technical Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. She is an F-22 Avionics Systems Maintainer at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, VA, and has been a member of the Air Force for nine years. She is a wife and a mother to four daughters and two dogs, and has traveled everywhere from California to Japan during her service.

“It’s been an honor and a privilege to maintain this 5^th Generation Weapons system and serve my country,” said Everette.

“Lea has always strived to do her best, and she has always been a high achiever,” said Davis. “In elementary school, she was one of a few students chosen to attend Space Camp in Florida. I think that was when she decided on an AERO career. But rather than select a NASA career, she decided to join the Air Force and ROTC. She was at the top of her class in leadership school, and before graduation from high school she signed up for the U.S. Air Force (USAF). And it’s been the USAF since. She also is involved with an organization that helps Veterans upon return. She loves ocean fishing too, and has caught some real trophy-size fish!”

LINTHICUM, MD, December 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Master Sergeant Joseph Bluver, Ret. as the NFM Salute for December 2016

Joseph joined the Illinois Air National Guard in 1984 at the age of 17. After graduating in 1985, he left for Lakeland Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonio. While attending technical school training at Lowry AFB in Denver, he studied Air Force food service. During his first assignment with the 126^th Air Refueling Wing Services Flight, he began his career as an apprentice Cook, advancing quickly through the ranks to hold positions such as Senior Cook, Supervisor, and Food Production Manager.

In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, Bluver was put on active duty, and stationed at Grissom Air Force Base in Indiana. He left the Illinois National Guard after 16 years and joined the Air Force Reserves. In 2000, he transferred to the Air Force Reserves 440^th Services Flight in Milwaukee. In 2003, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Bluver was once again placed on active duty. He was stationed in North Dakota at Grand Forks Air Force Base attached to the 319^th Services Squadron, where he was the assigned Safety and Training Manager in areas such as lodging, base gym, and the dining hall. Bluver retired from the Air Force Reserves in 2004 after more than 20 years of service. Bluver was nominated by his wife, Terri Landey-Bluver whom he married in 1999. They live with their two sons in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.

“There isn’t anything Joe wouldn’t do for you,” said Landey-Bluver. “He would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it. He was always there for his servicemen. He would always go beyond on his duties. He was always the first to volunteer to go on a deployment, whether it was stateside or overseas. It was hard once we had children, but he was up for the challenge and continued his service for several years once we had kids. Joe is very committed to everything he does, and does it very well.”

One of the carriers he served on during WWII was the USS Aaron Ward. On May 3, 1945, the Aaron Ward was attacked by Kamikaze airplanes, leaving Strine on the deck severely burned and dying. While one of his friends was loading up the soldiers who had not survived the attack into body bags to be thrown overboard, he noticed that Strine was still breathing and got him medical help, saving his life. Strine is featured in a book about the attack, and recently hosted a Navy Pilot who has been trying to meet the 13 remaining survivors of the 360 men aboard the USS Aaron Ward.
