CHEVY HELPS SUPPORT OUR FRONTLINE TROOPS

Two lucky sailors onboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln will receive a Silverado or an S-10 Pickup as part of a Chevrolet promotion designed to keep morale high for our frontline troops. The servicemen and servicewomen on the aircraft carrier have been stationed in the Persian Gulf since June. Upon their return, representatives from Chevy will be on hand to present the trucks, as well a "behind-the-scenes" weekend at a NASCAR race. Members of VSSM will have the opportunity to sign banners that will be used to drape the trucks before their presentation. "This is just one small way that we are able to express our thanks and goodwill wishes to the U.S. troops that are participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom," said Tom Suman, promotion manager Chevy Trucks. The promotion is part of Chevrolet's ongoing support of the U.S. Navy. Earlier this year,Chevy Trucks threw a Super Bowl party for about 25,000 servicemen and women on five aircraft carriers, including the USS Abraham Lincoln.
