TrueCar and Autonation chose U.S. Army Colonel for its DrivenToDrive award honoring inspiring wounded veterans and presented him with a customized Chevrolet Suburban SUV.
Along with a Purple Heart, he was decorated with several Bronze Stars and Merit Medals before retiring as commander of the U.S. Army Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County in 2014 and becoming a motivational speaker and photographer.
"As I look at my own recovery, the number one thing that made me feel most normal was the first time I was able to drive again after being wounded, so I appreciate the significance of the DrivenToDrive initiative and what it provides to injured veterans like myself," Col. Gadson said of the award.
Col. Gadson was presented with a new Chevrolet Suburban High Country SUV fitted with the equipment required for him to drive it.
