We are honored to have a truly inspiring vehicle on display at the BATTLE BORNE®️ Walk for Wellness, hat carries a powerful message of remembrance, resilience, and hope.
This car was created as a tribute to the heroes we lose every day in our country. The 22 bullet holes represent the heartbreaking statistic of the 22 veterans lost to su***de each day. The Punisher symbol stands for strength and resilience, a reminder that even through pain and hardship, we can make it through and come back stronger.
The red and blue lights honor law enforcement, both military and civilian, while the 988 crisis hotline number serves as an important reminder that help is always available and no one has to struggle alone.
For the owner, Carlos Vives, this project is deeply personal. During his first deployment to Iraq in 2009, he lost his best friend, someone he considered a brother, to su***de. That loss stayed with him, and this car became his way of honoring not only his friend, but all those we have lost.
This mission is also reflected in his business, CD Detail. CD Detail is not just another detailing business. It is veteran owned and operated, specializing in interior detailing, exterior detailing, engine bay detailing, polish, wax, and paint correction. They also offer oil changes, tune ups, and many other handyman services.
The difference is in the details. Every penny earned helps make it possible to travel to shows, spread awareness, and continue honoring the lives of those we have lost.
We are grateful to have him share his story, his business, and this meaningful tribute with our community. Together, we remember, we support one another, and we continue to fight for hope.
