In partnership with DAV (Disabled American
Veterans) and AutoNation, TrueCar recognizes veteran for continued
service to community
SANTA
MONICA, Calif., Nov. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the easiest, most
efficient, and transparent online destination for buying and
selling new and used vehicles, has awarded Army veteran
Adam Greathouse of West Virginia, with a new vehicle through its
DrivenToDrive initiative. The initiative is made possible in
partnership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and AutoNation,
America's most admired automotive retailer.
In 2001 while deployed to Kosovo, Greathouse suffered a severe traumatic
brain injury and major damage to his lungs and other internal
organs, which he believes was the result of exposure to residual
chemical weapons. He was in a coma for two months. The aftermath
left him in deep depression for nearly a decade. That changed when
DAV came into his life and he started giving back to other
veterans, renewing his sense of purpose. He has since volunteered
more than 5,000 hours at the Hershel "Woody" Williams VA Medical
Center in West Virginia.
Greathouse was named the DAV Freedom Award recipient at the 2017
National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and was named the
organization's 2020 Disabled American Veteran of the Year. He
currently serves as the state-level commander of the DAV Department
of West Virginia.
To honor his bravery and commitment to others, Greathouse was
presented with a new Chevrolet Silverado at a TrueCar DrivenToDrive
event. The new vehicle will help ensure he can continue his
important service and volunteer work.
"I'm so thankful to the TrueCar team for choosing me for this
honor," said Greathouse. "Serving other veterans is what drives me,
and I feel relieved knowing that I'll have a reliable car to help
me in my service to those who face the same challenges I did."
"It's a privilege to celebrate Army veteran Adam Greathouse, who sacrificed so much for his
country and continues to serve his fellow veterans," said Jantoon
Reigersman, President and CEO of TrueCar. "We're honored to be able
to help him further this great mission and, with all the driving he
does for his volunteer work, award him with a new vehicle through
our partnership with AutoNation."
TrueCar's DrivenToDrive program was started in 2017, inspired by
Army Ranger and DrivenToDrive ambassador, Cory Remsburg, who was severely injured while
serving in Afghanistan. The
program is designed to honor the sacrifices made by the members who
serve and their families by supporting their mobility needs. This
marks the 10th consecutive vehicle awarded through
DrivenToDrive.
"DAV is thrilled for Adam to receive this much-deserved
recognition as an outstanding member-leader and volunteer," said
Barry Jesinoski, DAV CEO and national adjutant. "TrueCar's
DrivenToDrive initiative provides life-changing support and
independence for deserving veterans like Adam. We are immensely
grateful for TrueCar's dedication to DAV's mission and America's
heroes."
"AutoNation is proud to partner with TrueCar for the 2023
DrivenToDrive program. We are deeply honored to recognize the
remarkable service of Adam
Greathouse and to present him with a brand-new vehicle,"
said Rich Lennox, Chief Marketing
Officer at AutoNation. "It's a privilege to be part of a program
that recognizes the sacrifices made by our service members and
their families."
