One of Our Own Gives Back - Mark Zimmerman and Meineke Car Care
)
Little Elm / West Frisco Meineke Car Care Center Says ‘Thank You’ on Veterans Day by offering complimentary service to active, retired and reserve service men and women (November 3rd, 2014) - For millions of American veterans and their families, Nov. 11 – Veteran’s Day – is a reminder of the sacrifices so many service men and women have made for our country. The day serves as a great reason to display a small token of gratitude and support to those who have fought for our freedom and continue to do so every day. While nothing can fully repay the debt owed to the men and women who serve our great nation, many local businesses do what they can to make one task easier or more affordable on Veteran’s Day. On Tuesday, November 11, 2014, the Little Elm / West Frisco Meineke Car Care Center will provide a free basic oil change to all active, retired and reserve military personnel, as well as spouses of those who are deployed. “The brave men and women of the armed forces continue to stand up for our freedom every day,” says Danny Rivera, Executive Vice President, Meineke Car Care Centers. “For that reason, Meineke is gifting $10,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project as a small gesture of our gratitude and reverence. In addition, local Meineke owners wanted to show their appreciation by also giving back to Veteran’s on this day of remembrance.” The day’s origins stem from the date the Allied nations and Germany agreed to a temporary cease-fire on Nov. 11, 1918, leading to the end of World War I. At the time, many people believed that conflict would be “the war to end all wars,” and Nov. 11 became known as Armistice Day. In 1938, the day became a legal federal holiday, and in 1954, after World War II and the Korean War made it clear that peace was a much more complex goal, the day became known as “Veteran’s Day.” The special Veteran’s Day service offered by our local Meineke Car Care Center includes up to six quarts of standard motor oil, and a standard oil filter. Locally owned and operated, the Little Elm / West Frisco Meineke Car Care Center located at 2972 FM 423 is open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
