Connecticut's Premier Subaru in Middlebury Spends Veteran's Day Sharing the Love with a Local U.S. Military Veteran.
Premier Subaru in Middlebury Connecticut spent this past Veteran's Day showing a local military veteran how truly appreciated they are for their commitment and sacrifice to the U.S. In partnership with the Military Warriors Support Foundation (MWSF), the dealership presented a brand new 2023 Subaru Forester to United States Marine Corps Corporal Roger Rua and his family.
Roger was selected to receive a Subaru after applying to MWSF's Transportation4Heroes program, which includes a rigorous vetting process to ensure selected veterans and/or their families are the most deserving recipients. MWSF then worked directly with Premier Auto Group to present the payment-free vehicle in the celebration on Veteran's Day.
Roger Rua was born and raised in Connecticut and joined the military in January 2010 after feeling the call of duty to serve and protect his country. He was stationed in Okinawa, Japan and later deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, where he was wounded during combat and received a Purple Heart for injuries sustained. Roger was honored with several additional awards for his service, including the Combat Action Ribbon, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and more. After four years of faithful service, he retired from the military and now resides in Naugatuck, CT with his family.
Premier Auto Group President Bob Alvine was focused on dedicating his auto group's latest giveaway to veterans in acknowledgement of our nation's most cherished individuals. Bob and his team have taken great pride in being able to help Roger as he transitions to civilian life.
The MWSF is a 15-year-old 501(c)(3) non-profit charity founded by Retired LTG Leroy Sisco, with a mission of providing crucial transitional support for our nation's combat-wounded heroes, Gold Star spouses, and their families. Its programs focus on transportation assistance, housing and homeownership, recreational activities, and leadership development. The Foundation is on its way to awarding more than 145 payment-free vehicles and 1,000 mortgage-free homes across all 50 states. Premier Auto Group Subaru joined forces with MWSF for the giveaway, with the Foundation selecting the deserving recipients through their application program and Premier Auto Group donating the brand-new vehicles.
The
Veteran's Day giveaway supports Subaru's nationwide corporate
commitment to giving back. Connecticut's Premier Auto Group is proud to
have dedicated its 2022 Veteran's Day to such a worthy cause and
honoring this local hero with the gift of safe, reliable
transportation.
