In 2015, The AAM Group partnered with ARIES Automotive to build the NSF1 project Jeep, which benefitted the Navy SEAL Foundation. The experience reinforced how important and powerful it is to give back to our military personnel and their families, who give so much to protect our freedom. This year, ARIES has partnered with Starwood Customs and KEG Media for a very special Jeep build, this one intended to benefit Folds of Honor and Gold Star Teen Adventures. Folds of Honor works to help fill the financial gaps experienced by more than one million dependents adversely affected by war. Gold Star Teen Adventures enables healing through programs that develop character and leadership skills for the youth of personnel who are lost in the line of duty.
In 2004, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Army SPC Stephen P. Downing II (assigned to 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery) was killed by enemy fire while conducting combat operations in Ramadi, Iraq. SPC Downing left behind his family—Leann, Taylor, and Stephen—who are the owners of this Jeep and have directly benefited from the help and support provided by Folds of Honor and Gold Star Teen Adventures. ARIES outfitted the Jeep with several of its new and classic products, including front and rear bumpers, hood and windshield light mounts, flat fenders and inner fender liners, LED lighting, a swing-away tire carrier, tube doors, security cargo lid, rocker steps, StyleGuard floor liners, and more.
The Jeep will be unveiled at the ARIES booth preview event on October 31 at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV.
