Nominate an Honoree

Submit your nomination of a fallen police officer, firefighter, or military service member to be honored at our annual Back the Heroes Rumble Car Show.

Please note that all nominations are reviewed in alignment with our rotating selection schedule, as we alternate each year between honoring fallen heroes from the police, fire, and military communities. In 2025, we honored one hero from each service branch. For 2026, we anticipate selecting one to two fallen heroes from the nominations we receive.

Thank you for helping us ensure that the legacies of these brave men and women continue to be remembered and celebrated.

All Proceeds raised at the car show minus expenses, which are covered by sponsorships, are then given to the families of the chosen honorees. All funding secured from sponsorships, donations, entry fees, vendor fees, et cetera are in connection to and support the program, Operation Never Forget. It is through this program, our central mission, that all heroes fallen in the line of duty are honored & to be forever enshrined.
