The payment-free vehicle, a new 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport, is being provided by the Walser Foundation with support from Wells Fargo and Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Transportation4Hereos program.

The veteran receiving the vehicle, a Coon Rapids native, served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a sergeant from 2006 – 2012. He was injured in combat and received a Purple Heart among other awards for his service. He now lives in Coon Rapids, Minnesota with his fiancée and three children.
