Retired U.S. Army Corporal Lewis, a resident of Ridgeway, South Carolina, and father of two teenage sons, joined the Army in 2002, right after high school. Lewis served as an M1A2 Armor Crew Member with the 4th Infantry Division and was wounded during a 2003 deployment to Iraq. He would later serve as an Army recruiter before being medically retired in 2007. His military honors include the Combat Action Badge, an Army Commendation Medal, and an Army Achievement Medal. Lewis is a true hero for our country.

On November 4th, the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Transportation4Heroes program partnered with Mark Ficken Ford Lincoln and Wells Fargo to honor Lewis for his military service as he received a payment-free 2026 Ford Bronco. The presentation to recognize Lewis’s service and sacrifice was held during the 13th Annual Veterans and First Responders Golf Outing.

More than a New Car, a Brighter Future as Well

The new Ford Bronco will provide Lewis with reliable transportation for work, family responsibilities, and medical appointments, but it won’t be the only help he is receiving. In addition to the payment-free vehicle, Lewis will also receive two years of financial mentoring through the program. This will provide additional support as he plans for his family’s financial future.

Wells Fargo launched its Veteran Vehicle Donation Program in 2015 to support members of the military community. The program helps them effectively navigate life’s transitions, achieve ongoing career success, and positively impact their community. Since the program began, Wells Fargo has worked with many dealerships across the country to sponsor more than 150 vehicle donations along with financial mentoring. This time, with the help of Mark Ficken Ford Lincoln Wells Fargo was able to provide Lewis the vehicle he deserves.
