LINTHICUM, MD, August 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Sergeant Major (Retired) Gregory W. Heffner as the NFM Salute for August 2016.
SGM (Ret) Gregory W. Heffner served honorably in the Maryland Army National Guard for over 35 years, entering service on January 20, 1974. Heffner worked in numerous key assignments culminating at the National Guard Bureau Policy Division, Arlington, Virginia until his retirement in February 2009. He has received many accolades for his service, including the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal.
Heffner remains at the National Guard Bureau as a Department of the Army Civilian, GS 13. He is a lifelong resident of Frederick, MD, and has been married to his wife, Terry Lynn Heffner, for over 41 years. He has two daughters, Hilery Leatherman and Katherine Speilman, and seven grandchildren.
“I nominated my Dad, SGM Greg Heffner, because he is the most patriotic person I know,” said Leatherman. “He loves our country, served 35 years active duty, and now that he’s retired, he is still working as a civilian for the MDARNG as a policy writer. He has always been someone that others call on for advice, assistance or anything regarding other soldiers.”

LINTHICUM, MD, April 4, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Danny Farrar as the NFM Salute for April 2016.
Robert (Danny) Farrar, III, went into the Army straight out of High school joining up as an infantryman. His tenure in the Army saw him take the first search and rescue team into the Pentagon on 9-11, and a combat tour in Iraq from 2005-2006. Farrar went from being homeless and dealing with depression, to building SoldierFit and being selected to the 2013 “Top 40 under 40 V.I.P” by The Daily Record, as well as one of the Top 5 Men’s Health Ultimate Guys. SoldierFit is a gym based out of Frederick MD, which started as one sub-let location and has since grown to 3 stand-alone facilities with 3,000 members and 50 employees.
Recently, he co-founded Platoon 22, a 501(c) that combats veteran suicides. His goal is to revitalize the American dream and remind his fellow Americans no other soil on earth is more fertile for their dreams then America’s. Farrar was nominated by Jeremy Poling, a Mortgage Loan Originator at NFM Lending, who volunteers at Platoon 22.
“Over the last few years, I have watched this young man work hard to start the work in motion at Platoon 22,” said Poling. “As a husband, father, student, business owner, advocate, and friend he spends each day trying to help everyone around him with the last thought in mind on himself. His story is raw, with a past that is difficult to understand unless you spend time and talk to him. His service to our country, combined with the sacrifices he continues to make for our community, is unmatched in my eyes. I am proud to call him a friend.”

LINTHICUM, MD, March 23, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to launch its NFM Salute initiative by honoring the first NFM Salute, Coulter C. Houchens, Sr., father of current NFM Lending employee, Jeanette Salamon.
“Our entire family is thrilled that my Daddy has been chosen as the first honoree for the NFM Salutes Campaign!” said Salamon. “He exhibits so much honor and pride in having served in WWII, and other than his family, it is his military service that he is proudest of. He remains to this day a silent hero, never boastful, but always remembering and giving the honor to the ‘boys’ he served with, who lost their lives in WWII, as being the real heroes. Thank you, NFM, for recognizing my Daddy, Coulter Christian Houchens, Sr., a man who served our country proudly.”
Military and veteran causes are important to NFM Lending. For the past eight years, NFM Lending has held a Support Our Troops Drive, collecting items for care packages to send to U.S. troops overseas.

It is an honor to have Coulter Houchens, Sr. as the first recipient of a NFM Salute. His service during World War II is an incredible example of sacrifice and courage. Thank you to Coulter, and all members of the armed forces, and veterans, for your commitment to service in protecting our country.”
