LAYTON — Futura Car Wash, along with more than 1,300 other car wash locations across the nations, will provide free car washes to veterans and current military service personnel.
Under the Grace For Vets Free Wash Program, washes will be given rain or shine at Futura Car Wash from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 11. The free washes are given to honor and recognize those that have and are serving in the armed forces.
Mike Mountz, owner of Cloister Wash & Lube, in Ephrata, Penn., started Grace For Vets in 1998. Mountz vowed to find a way to honor veterans when he served and saw first-hand amputees and the seriously wounded at the Veterans Hospital in Valley Forge, Penn.
Several years after opening his first car wash, he started the Grace for Vets Free Wash Program. With the help of participating car washes across the country, more and more military servicemen and women are recognized each year through the program. The goal this year is to wash more than 120,000 veterans’ cars.
“This day is not about the car wash operators who are providing the free washes, it’s about honoring and recognizing those that have and are serving and protecting our country,” says Paul Taylor, of Futura Car Wash.
