Wells Fargo teamed up with Apple Autos of Shakopee and the Military Warriors Support Foundation to present a payment-free 2021 Ford Escape SE Hybrid to former U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Diehn on Aug. 31 during Military Appreciation Day at the Minnesota State Fair.

“It is such an honor to receive this vehicle and be a part of this program because it will give our family so much more freedom to do different things and visit new places,” Diehn stated, in a press release.
