“Free coffee is a unique way Pilot Flying J can show the Medal of Honor recipients our gratitude for their brave actions,” says Pilot Corp.’s founder.
Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America, is giving away a year of free coffee and commemorative travel mugs to Congressional Medal of Honor recipients at the Medal of Honor Knoxville Convention.
As a Hero Sponsor for this year’s convention, Pilot Flying J is offering the free coffee in order to continue to show its support of and appreciation for the U.S. military and the Medal of Honor recipients.
“As an Army veteran myself, I understand and appreciate the sacrifices these heroes have made,” said Jim Haslam, Pilot Corp. founder and chairman. “Free coffee is a unique way Pilot Flying J can show the Medal of Honor recipients our gratitude for their brave actions.”
Pilot Flying J frequently implements new programs to improve the driving and working experience for veteran drivers. Last September, Pilot Flying J gave free gas to nearly 1,600 veterans, active soldiers and their families for Operation Tank Full of Love. The Knoxville. Tenn.-headquartered company also has celebrated Veteran’s Day by offering free services for professional drivers who are veterans and offers favorable employment provisions for those in the military.
“It’s a privilege to be able to give back to our service men and women,” Haslam said. “They do so much for our country, and Pilot Flying J is proud to be able to do something for them.”
