The Nevada Military Support Alliance has established a way to donate to the families of the Guard members killed in Tuesday's shooting in Carson City. Those interested in making a donation to support the families of the fallen may do so at www.nvmilitarysupport.org.

Once on the page, click the red "Nevada National Guard Victims of 9/6/11" button.

In the middle of the next page, choose "NEVADA MILITARY Support Alliance" from the drop-down menu. Fill-in the fields and then press the "submit" button.

Donations may be made in honor of, or in memory of: The Nevada Guardsmen; Maj. Heath Kelly; Master Sgt. Christian Riege; or Sgt. 1st Class Miranda McElhiney.

The Nevada Military Support Alliance is a 501-C-3 Tax Exempt Public Charity and is funded by private donations. It is designed to provide support to all Nevadans who have served or are presently serving in the U.S. military and is governed by a 13-member board of directors that oversees its activities and operations.

The NMSA is not directly affiliated with the Nevada National Guard.
