​Macoy Austin Daniel Hicks born July 12th, 1998 served in the US Navy from February 2017 – February 11th 2019. Macoys first station was Washington, DC as a Ceremonial Guardsman at Arlington National Cemetery. He honorably participated in 6-8 funerals a day. Following that station he was assigned to the USS Nimitz in Bremerton, WA.

Macoy lost his battle with Toxic Leadership, PTSD and a TBI and subsequently died by suicide.

He was so full of life and yet he struggled behind his smile. We do not want our military members to feel alone. Macoy certainly wouldn’t either.

Even though Macoy is no longer with us he lives on in us and in our mission. We will not stop until the military suicide epidemic is addressed and eliminated.
