JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service teamed up with Monster Energy to put Roger Reyes, a Veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps from San Antonio, Texas, behind the wheel of a custom Ford Bronco Badlands, valued at $106,000. Reyes and his family received the keys to the new ride at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Exchange.
“It still seems like a dream,” Reyes said. “I love it, and we’re enjoying all the stares and compliments on such a beautiful vehicle!”
Reyes also received an $8,500 American Express gift card in the Exchange’s Monster Energy Sweepstakes, to personalize the ride to his liking. While Reyes won the grand prize, another fifty military community members also took home Monster Energy prizes.
“The Exchange is proud to give back to the community here,” said Christine Harlan, general manager of the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland/Randolph Exchange. “It’s nice to watch the excitement and happiness these giveaways bring to our men and women in uniform.”
Giving back to the military and veteran community is an important part of the Exchange mission. Last year, the Exchange gave away more than $800,000 in prizes in sweepstakes and giveaways.
