2024 Military-Themed MVP™ 3 Proceeds Donated to Camp Hometown Heroes
For the last several years, Western Products has partnered with Camp Hometown Heroes to design a one-of-a-kind military-themed plow for Veteran’s Day. This year we have put together a specialty MVP 3, honoring the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Contractors and dealers from across the country can submit bids on the WESTERN Facebook page for a chance to win this one-of-a-kind plow. All proceeds are donated to Camp Hometown Heroes.
Bern Buczek – The artist behind the plow put countless hours into research and development. We will have stories highlighting each area of this plow and the history behind each creative aspect of the artwork that will be released on our social channels through the days of the auction from November 1-11.
ONE CUSTOM PLOW WITH NINE POWERFUL STORIES
This year’s plow honored the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It has nine important parts, each with a story. Watch the video below for an in-depth explanation of the importance and the history behind this one-of-a-kind military plow.
ABOUT CAMP HOMETOWN HEROES
Auction proceeds will be donated to Camp Hometown Heroes, a free week-long overnight summer camp for children and siblings of fallen U.S. Service Members. During their visit to camp, the children begin the healing process with peers who have experienced a similar loss while doing the summer activities that they love. To learn more about this amazing organization, visit the Camp Hometown Heroes website.
Significance of Drawing Time
The auction concludes on Veterans Day, November 11, to honor military veterans. This day coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
Happy Veteran’s Day to our service members, both past and present.
This year the plow was auctioned off to Gene S. from Leesport, PA. The plow sold for $13,777 which will be donated to Camp Hometown Heroes.
