Empowering our veterans
Chevy has always stood with the ones who sign up, show up and get the job done. No one embodies that spirit more than our nation’s service members. At this year’s CMA® Awards, Chevrolet honored Achilles™ Freedom Team member and proud veteran, Retired Sergeant Nick Koulchar. In August 2008, Nick was wounded when an EFP struck the side of his vehicle in Iraq, causing a traumatic double amputation above both his knees. Today, he switches between prosthetics and a wheelchair to get through the day. With the help of CMA Awards Nominee, Ella Langley, Chevrolet and Achilles ™ International worked together to present Nick and his family with a Next-Generation BraunAbility® Traverse — a wheelchair-accessible vehicle designed to accommodate his specific mobility needs — at this year’s CMA Awards. For over 15 years, Chevrolet has proudly supported the Achilles Freedom Team in their efforts to help break down barriers for hundreds of military veterans with disabilities.

Hiring our heroes

As a member of the Hiring Our Heroes Veteran Employment Advisory Council, GM has joined more than 30 leading companies to organize hundreds of job fairs across the country, as well as on U.S. bases in Germany, Italy and Japan.
Operation Homefront
Chevy proudly supports Operation Homefront (OH), a national nonprofit whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. Since 2011, OH has fulfilled nearly 42,000 unique requests from military families, providing over $26 million in financial assistance.
Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans
Marathon riders
The Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans comprises athletes who have overcome life-changing injuries to compete in various marathons across the country. Their competitive spirit was captured at the Detroit Free Press International Marathon, where each cyclist showed their skill, strength, dedication and determination.
Engineering a better handcycle
Chevy engineers partnered with students from Michigan Technological University to develop a more efficient handcycle for the Achilles Freedom Team. “Wings of Angels,” an award-winning documentary narrated by Gary Sinise, portrays the partnership and follows the lives of two wounded veterans who find renewed confidence with the Achilles Freedom Team.
How you can donate
Your support and generosity play a major role in helping these athletes move forward. There are many ways to help — from individual donations to corporate sponsorships. You can even purchase an entire handcycle to be used by an Achilles athlete in competition for just $3,500.
Shifting Gears Automotive Technician Training Program
Chevy’s support for our military heroes doesn’t end when their active duty does. That’s why GM started the Shifting Gears Automotive Technician Training Program, which offers automotive technician training to soldiers who are transitioning from service to civilian life. To this date, over 700 veterans – from all branches of the military – have graduated to become GM trained automotive technicians.
