GMExtendedWarranty.com Honors America's Military

The GM Extended Warranty division of Roberson Pontiac-Buick-GMC in Jesup, GA is once again extending its support for the VFW National Home for Children and our nation's military members and veterans during the month of May.

May is National Military Appreciation Month. It's the perfect time to say "thank you" to the men and women serving our country.

So ExtendedGMWarranty.com has joined forces with an ambitious high school student named Shauna Fleming. Shauna wanted to say "thanks" to the U.S. troops. But she didn't want hers to be the only voice they heard. She wanted the volume of hundreds of thousands of voices. Maybe even more.

As founder of A Million Thanks, Shauna has led a year-round campaign to send a thank you letter to every single member of the military. Her goal was a million letters--and when her millionth letter was collected, the President invited her to the Oval Office to thank and congratulate her. Today, Shauna has collected over 2.6 million letters.

Wounded Warrior Project is honored to partner with the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Warrior Project offers services and programs like combat stress seminars, benefits counseling, adaptive sports opportunities and advocacy initiatives to aid in the transition from hospital bed to an independent productive life.
