Grace For Vets

Grace For Vets

Grace For Vets is a united front of car wash operators that provide a FREE CAR WASH to veterans and service personnel each year on November 11 to honor their past and present service to their country.
Mission:

The mission of Grace For Vets, is to honor those who have served or are currently serving their country. Founded in 2003 at Cloister, the program has grown from just a handful of washes to several thousand in 4 countries. Whether observing Veterans Day, Remembrance Day or ANZAC Day, we unite together as a whole, and provide FREE car washes to ALL veterans and service personnel.

Mike Mountz, founder of Grace For Vets, was inducted into the International Carwash Association's Hall of Fame in 2010. Listen to his closing remarks about Grace For Vets.
