In November Sugar Bear’s widow and son attended the Honor the Fallen event at the United States Naval Academy. Sugar Bear was one of the alumni recognized during the November 12th football game.
It was extremely special for Sugar Bear to be recognized at the Nixon Library and to have an ornament hung on their tree in his honor.
Our amazing crew of volunteers at the Carlsbad Tri- City Medical Center Marathon & Half. A special thank you goes out to HMLA 169 for all of their support during this event.
We had an awesome time at Sugar Bear’s BBQ & Beers! We are grateful to everyone that supported this event and helped us raise funds for Angels of America’s Fallen.

Raise your Beer, Toast A Hero: Mario Carazo
"The greatest of call signs are so well selected that they seem to capture everything about the person that bears it. Eventually, these aviators are known almost exclusively by their new name. Using anything else in reference might confuse fellow pilots until the call sign brings clarity to the conversation.
For Lieutenant Colonel Mario Carazo, he earned one of those call signs that stand out because his was so incredibly perfect."

Lieutenant Colonel Mario “Sugar Bear” Carazo BBQ and Beers
In January of 2015, Jennifer Carazo, a group of friends, former squadronmates of Sugar Bear’s and the local community gathered at Kansas City Barbecue to celebrate Mario’s life and raise funds for Angels of America’s Fallen. As a result of the many generous donations, support from Kansas City Barbecue and the Dog Tag Brewing Foundation, the event was a success, and a yearly tradition was born.
