Big Nick’s Gift to Our Troops is a non-profit organization started by Bernie and Linda Sullivan of Sandwich, Massachusetts, in honor of fallen Marine Corporal Nicholas G. Xiarhos of Yarmouth, who heroically gave his life for his country on July 23, 2009. The Organization collects and sends out packages to the troops overseas, to encourage them, and to make their deployment easier. Many of the troops do not receive anything from home. Our troops make sacrifices every day so that we can enjoy the freedom and security which they provide. In honor of Nick, let them know that they are not forgotten, and that their sacrifice means so much to all of us.
