Dealership donates new minivan to veteran

Today, there are plenty of celebrations for those who served and Wells Fargo teaming up with the Eastern's Automotive Group to donate a new minivan to a veteran, part of a program called Hope for Warriors, a nonprofit supporting service members and their families. Fox 5 photojournalist Matthew Myers is in Camp Springs, Maryland, with their story. Hand the keys over Amazing. Wow Congratulations. Oh thank you so much I appreciate it. The vehicle represents a whole lot more than just a car. This is so nice. Once a month, we give away a payment-free vehicle. Some of them are to wounded veterans. It's a pretty well-loaded, brand-new Chrysler Pacifica. Just an amazing vehicle. It's really convenient, super easy to drive, very comfortable for all the passengers in the back. Driving beautifully. Hope for the Warriors is a national nonprofit organization founded 20 years ago to support military families by military families This vehicle, for us, is an opportunity to transport people to different events events and activities, doctor's appointments. One of the things that we love about car rides is the conversations that take place in them. Some of the most powerful conversations actually take place on the drive to where we're going. They have that opportunity to stay connected in their community with their families, friends, peers. For me, the first thing that goes through the mind is my father. My father was a Vietnam veteran, served in the Marines. I just get chills thinking about the support that these folks have From organizations such as Hope for the Warriors I got injured back in May of 2010. Hope met me in the hospital right after I got injured. Where that service member may need help, that family needs help too. So they bring that whole family into the fold and help everybody the same way. Vice is just helping that veteran. It's really humbling, honestly. To be able to do this kind of thing means that we're doing something right. The community has supported us enough to be able to support the community back. And so to me, this kind of circle of giving is the purpose of business The donation today on Veterans Day is a wonderful way to celebrate and honor those who have served their country.
