Ashley was remembered at a Flags of Honor ceremony on May 9, 2014 in Parma, OH. The Ohio Flags of Honor Foundation was started by Gino and Lisa Zimmer, parents of Specialist Nicholaus E. Zimmer, U.S. Army. Nick was killed in Kufa, Iraq in May of 2004. The Zimmer family established the Operation Iraqi Freedom Chopper Fund (OIFCF), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization as a result of the gratitude they felt for the overwhelming support of veterans’ motorcycle clubs and organizations in attendance at the funeral.
