“Everyone at NFM is proud of the work that we do in supporting our Veteran community,” said Bob Tyson, COO/CAO of NFM Lending. “The NFM Salute was born from that promise to give back to those who have served us. The one year anniversary of the program is an important milestone as it allows us to reflect and reaffirm our commitment. Reading the stories of those who have served or are serving is a reminder to all of us of the sacrifice made for us by these men and women, and their families.”

LINTHICUM, MD, November 1, 2016— NFM Lending is pleased to honor Edward Strine as the NFM Salute for November 2016

Strine served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and spent much of his time in the military in the keel of a ship serving in the engine and fire rooms as a Fireman First Class. 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.

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.”

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.”
