Freedom Alliance, in partnership with U.S. Bank, is presenting a 2017 Dodge Durango to medically retired United States Marine Cpl. Yancy Green. The ‘Driven to Serve’ program is an initiative between the two organizations and pairs available vehicles with service members in need. This is the eighth vehicle donated under the program since 2018.
Corporal Green served as a Machine Gunner for four years and deployed to Iraq twice. While on a combat mission in 2003, his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device, resulting in a traumatic brain injury as well as knee and shoulder damage, among other combat-related injuries. Corporal Green has received numerous awards for his service including the Rifle Sharpshooter Badge, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, Combat Action Ribbon and a Presidential Unit Citation.
Having a vehicle with no payment removes a huge financial burden from the Green family and will allow for easier travel to twice-weekly medical appointments in Tampa.
On Wednesday, December 18 at 10 a.m. This event is not open to the public.
At Gettel Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM – 2323 Tamiami Trail, Punta Gorda, FL 33950
Freedom Alliance and U.S. Bank share the same mission – honoring service members for their dedication and personal sacrifice. For the Green family, this vehicle allows household travel and provides the stability needed to help this American hero recover with his wife, Tiffany, by his side.
In addition to partnering with military service organizations such as Freedom Alliance, U.S. Bank supports veterans and military family members through Proud to Serve, an employee-led business resource group. Through Proud to Serve, each new veteran is personally welcomed by leaders who are also veterans. Employees are also encouraged to use internal social networking forums to connect, network and share stories. The bank employs more than 2,000 veterans, including National Guard and Reserve members.
