On Veterans Day, we are honored to celebrate a veteran and hero of the road, Bobby Peeker. Bobby was nominated for our Road Warrior contest and his story moved us in a powerful way. His life reflects service, compassion, and dedication. As a combat Marine veteran and a one million mile safe driver, Bobby continues to make a difference by supporting fellow veterans, bringing joy to children through community events, and caring for animals along his route. To honor his impact, we are awarding Bobby $25,000 to donate to a charity of his choice and a $10,000 cash prize. His journey reminds us that every mile can be driven with purpose. Thank you, Bobby, for your service to our country and the road.
