We are Gold Star Parents, Patti & Andrew Nowaczyk. About Us: On April 15, 2012, our son, U.S Army SSG David Nowaczyk was killed serving his country. David was responsible for saving many lives during his three tours in Afghanistan. David served his country proudly and he made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving behind a wife, a young daughter and step-son.

In conjunction with the Town of Dyer, Indiana it is our goal to raise funds to erect a Gold Star Family Memorial and a Fallen Hero Memorial. It is with help and contributions of people and organizations like you that will assist in making this dream become a realty. The donations and monies raised will be put into the SSG David Nowaczyk Fund, a 501 (c) (3) corporation (EIN 46-2501025).

The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as an exempt organization under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

SSG David Nowaczyk Memorial Fund, Inc.’s mission is to build and maintain a Gold Star Family Memorial and a Fallen Hero Memorial. In addition, the organization will assist veterans with their needs and the needs of their families and the families of fallen soldiers. We do not anticipate providing veteran assistance until the Gold Star Family Memorial and a Fallen Hero Memorial is complete.
