ROBSTOWN, Texas — Mike Shaw Toyota has hundreds of cars and trucks for sale on its lot. But on Friday, veterans and active-duty military members lined up to get a free Thanksgiving bird from the 7th Annual Turkey for Troops.
"This is a huge event for us," Cory Brewer, a managing partner of Mike Shaw Toyota said. "Mr. Shaw is a veteran. He served in Vietnam. He understands the sacrifices that these courageous people make and its just one of the ways to give back to people who are currently serving and people who have served."
For the last several years Mike Shaw Toyota has been working with several local groups to provide turkeys for the nation's heroes. Mike Shaw Toyota could've fed an entire army! 2,000 turkeys were expected to be given out during the 2023 event.
Will Jackson, a U.S. Army Veteran said, "The way Mike Shaw put this together, it just lifts my spirits," U.S. Army veteran Will Jackson said. "I know there's hope."
The event was on Friday, Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 3232 Interstate 69 Access Road in Robstown.
