Recently, North Carolina local and State governments recently invested over $1.2 million in a climate risk assessment and resiliency planning project. But In light of this, thousands of Fayetteville residents can be considered subject matter experts in resiliency after the sobering recovery from three hurricanes in four years.
It is no surprise, Enrique Murillo, commonly known as "Rick," can mobilize members in the Fayetteville community to support military veterans survive the aftermath of hurricane Laura and Delta in Louisiana and Texas.
Rick's choice to wear a Hawaiian shirt for the drive may be an external symbol of his eventual inner happiness with his current life.
Not long ago, the Army veteran once was an Airborne Ranger who wore qualification tabs and served in Special Forces and Special Operations units.
Now, as a private citizen, Rick lives his life's purpose by supporting veterans, both postmortem or alive, and their families by paying tribute to them for their service.
He organized suicide awareness events, named parking signs after fallen Soldiers, and created impromptu humanitarian projects like "Let's Fill These Trailers" hurricane relief donation drive.
