Thank you to 92.9 KISM for making this possible for our community of Veterans.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ron Sytsma, an esteemed veteran from Acme, for emerging as the well-deserved winner of this year’s “Vehicle for a Veteran” initiative. Mr. Sytsma, a distinguished two-tour veteran of the United States Marine Corps, notably served with valor during the Vietnam War.
Bellingham Automotive is deeply privileged to have played a significant role in the meticulous restoration process of a Ford F150, generously donated by Betty, a compassionate individual whose late husband also proudly served as a veteran. The F150, a symbol of resilience and camaraderie, now stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have served our nation.
It is with great honor that we recount the touching connection between Ron and Betty. As fate would have it, Betty, upon learning of the recipient of the newly refurbished F150, immediately recognized Ron. Their connection ran deeper, as Ron had worked alongside Betty’s brother, forging bonds not only in service to their country but also in the camaraderie of shared experiences.
Once again, congratulations to Ron Sytsma, and profound gratitude to Betty for her generous donation, which has resulted in a meaningful and tangible expression of appreciation for our veterans. May the road ahead be paved with honor, resilience, and the continued support of a grateful community.
