Local Businesses Turn Dream Into Reality for Injured Soldier

Wayland, MI, October 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- PFC Brendan Marrocco of Staten Island, NY will be presented with the keys to his dream car, a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8, Friday, October 30th at the West Michigan Auto Auction. Marrocco was severely injured in Iraq early Easter morning in 2009 when his convoy was attacked. He lost both arms, one above the elbow and one below, both legs, and suffered severe facial injuries and burns.

West Michigan Auto Auction and Hot Rod Harley-Davidson of Muskegon partnered with Harold Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Grandville to help find and make donations toward the car. While most of the extensive therapy Morrocco has to deal with every day is hard work he will be able to count on driving his SRT8, due to modifications that will be made to it, as exhilarating therapy.

In addition throughout the month of November, Harold Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep of Grandville will donate a portion of all vehicle sales and a portion of all oil changes to the Wounded Warrior Project, which works to honor and empower wounded warriors. Country music giant Toby Keith has also heard of Brendan’s story and is sending a personal gift to Marrocco to be revealed at the key ceremony.

The press is invited to attend the key ceremony Friday, October 30th at 9:30am. The ceremony will take place at West Michigan Auto Auction, 4758 Division St. Wayland, MI 49348.
