Apple Ford Shakopee

Sep 17, 2021

We were so excited and humbled to partner with Wells Fargo Auto for the second year in a row to present a brand new payment-free vehicle to a former US Army Sergeant earlier this month at the Minnesota State Fair during Military Appreciation Day.

 

Michael Diehn is a purple heart veteran who served 7 years in Iraq from 2001-2006. He was injured in October of 2003. After 6 months of rehab in Germany, Michael re-enlisted and was deployed to Iraq where he was honorable discharged in March of 2006.

 

Together with Wells Fargo and the Military Warriors Support Foundation, we presented Michael, his wife Jessica, and their three children with a payment-free 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. In addition to the vehicle, and with a tremendous amount of help from our community, we were able to fill the trunk with items based on the family’s hobbies and interests. We’ll never have sufficient words to describe our gratitude, but believe this is a start.
