Most people take pride in their new vehicles, but there was something extra special about the car that veteran Trent Brining received. According to Fox 4 News, GM recently celebrated reaching a milestone of having produced over 500 million cars. In order to make that event even more memorable, the company donated a brand new 2016 Chevy Malibu to the former servicemember from Kearney, Missouri.
The news source reported that Brining was injured by a rocket propelled grenade in Iraq in 2004. Since then, he and his family have been living and working near Kansas City, Missouri.
GM CEO Marry Barra, who has fueled the car company's commitment to serving veterans, choose Brining to receive the newest, fully loaded car in May. On Dec. 8, the veteran was able to take it home. Brining told KMBC how excited he was to own the new car and that he wanted to use it for something good.
"I just only hope that one day I can, you know, kind of repay this favor and do something cool for somebody else like this," Brining told the news source.
