MAZ6R CLAN & Fellowship Organization celebrates our birthday with an awesome tribute video, and a raffle on Twitch during the Awkward Victoria show
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - illiNews -- MAZ6R officially marked its second anniversary with style, celebrating two years of continuous growth since its launch on July 2, 2024. The milestone celebrations, which commenced on July 1st & 2nd, were centered around a global tribute video dedicated to the organization's first president and admiral, Donald E. Stafford, who passed away on December 19, 2025.
The centerpiece of the anniversary events featured a global release of a commemorative tribute video with our members, the Stafford family, and friends honoring Stafford's foundational leadership. Prior to his pivotal role with MAZ6R, Stafford served with honor as a first lieutenant in the Indiana Army National Guard (retired).
This seven-month meticulous production of a commanding, feature-film-caliber celebration-of-life tribute offers an emotionally stirring cinematic experience, driven by superior scriptwriting. The visual journey is enhanced by a robust and deeply moving musical score that guides viewers through the ceremony and legacy of the family's patriarch.

The masterwork captures poignant ceremony speeches with heartfelt vocal deliveries from ceremony participants; touching clips of an actual U.S. Navy burial at sea, paying respectful homage to a life of service with the sweeping action of military planes flying overhead; and the resounding power of ships' guns during the twenty-one-gun salute and final celebration captured by seventeen camera viewpoints.
The tribute concludes on a serene note, featuring the beloved song "May It Be" by renowned singer Enya, while a moving montage of images featuring Don and his family rolls during the closing credits. View at www.mazda6redclan.com.
On July 2, we continued our anniversary celebration live on Twitch alongside streamer Awkward Victoria and the Awkward Crowd, surrounded by family, team members, and friends. The broadcast featured live voice participation from MAZ6R Fleet Admiral (CEO) Thomas M. Grange, four admirals, and two rear admirals, while supporters engaged via Discord. During the stream, Victoria was surprised with a promotion to lieutenant commander. The ceremony featured Admiral Bygglesworth reading a mock Western Union telegram, followed by FAMD Grange presenting Victoria with the prestigious MAZ6R NAUTA MERITUS certificate. To celebrate, Victoria and the team immediately hit the digital seas for live World of Warships battles alongside her community.
