Jim Clark Chevrolet in Junction City will be delivering a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado to Sgt. Jon Thompson and his family next Tuesday.

Willie Thornberg, Jim Clark Chevrolet General Manager explained that Jon was recently deployed to Afghanistan but returned in December to surprise his wife Liz and young daughter Reese during halftime of the annual Army vs Navy football game.

“Reese and her mom Liz were invited to join General Motors in their suite and watch that football game as a show of our appreciation for the military and their families,” said Thornberg. “Little did Liz know, but they had arranged to bring Sergeant Thompson back from Afghanistan. During the halftime ceremony Liz was on the field and they presented her with the keys of a new Colorado, and in the Colorado was her husband Jonathan.”

General Motors partnered with the Wish for our Heroes organization to present the truck to the Thompson’s who were chosen to receive the truck after losing there home on Fort Riley last year due to a house fire.
