State Representative Steve Xiarhos is marking what would have been his son Nick's 38th birthday in a special way.
He says the Nicholas G. Xiarhos Memorial Fund is honoring the fallen U.S. Marine by donating 38-grand to 38 different groups across Cape Cod and beyond.
Nick was only 21 when he was killed by a roadside bomb in 2009 while serving in Afghanistan.
Xiarhos says the memorial fund has done a lot of good for folks over the years and he hopes to keep it thriving for years to come.
