To date, 150 vehicles have been provided to the New York Fire Department, Police Department, New York/New Jersey Port Authority and Office of Emergency Management for use in the rescue and recovery efforts. The vehicles are a mix of SUVs, vans and passenger cars. (Note: 4 Camaro B4Cs! ..)
On the evening of the terrorist attacks, Kelle Chevrolet of Howell, N.J.(dealer Bill Johnson) provided emergency taxi service for stranded commuters who had fled New York City via ferry in an effort to return to their homes in New Jersey and beyond. Representatives from the dealership drove people to their homes, some traveling as far as Pennsylvania. Most recently, 32 tri-state area dealers (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) have agreed to have their dealerships serve as Red Cross collection points. GM/Red Cross collection boxes are being placed in these dealerships.
CHEVY INVOLVED IN RING OF HONOR, PATRIOTIC DISPLAY AT COWBOYS GAME . . . As the Dallas Cowboys returned to competition on Sunday at Texas Stadium, Chevrolet played a key role in the noon kickoff game against the San Diego Chargers. Chevrolet, the official game sponsor for Sunday's game and the official vehicle of the Cowboys, furnished 65,000 red, white and blue pompoms to fans entering the game, as part of a tribute to the United States. Also, as part of the Cowboys' halftime ceremony that included the induction of Bob Hayes into the Cowboys Ring of Honor, Chevrolet provided 35th anniversary convertible Camaros to bring Hayes and the other members of the Ring of Honor onto the field. In addition, Chevrolet conducted its Chevrolet Quarterbacks promotion during halftime, giving Cowboys fans the chance to prove their passing skills and win their choice of an all-new 2002 Chevy Avalanche or 2002 Chevy Impala.

I really like to hear stories that. It makes me feel patriotic and I am not even American! As far as I am concerned everybody should be driving GM vehicles, or at least American made cars! Thanks for Sharing Teri. Dave
