Master Sergeant Bubba Beason

America’s Hero, 2009

Chevy had a promotion that encouraged people from all over the country to nominate friends or family members who, while in uniform, have demonstrated the military spirit of overcoming obstacles, inspiring others and positively impacting their country and community. Friends and family of the service members were asked to submit a video or written essay.  Five finalists were chosen for a public voting period where people were asked to choose which story most inspired them. The promotion will culminate at the CMA Awards in Nashville, TN on November 11^th when the winning service member and family will attend the show and get the opportunity to meet Dale Earnhardt.
