Mahindra Ag North America (MAgNA) continues its tradition of gratitude with the 11th Annual Military Salute Giveaway, announcing former Marine Lance Corporal Richard Espinoza IV as this year’s winner. On National Ag Day, Espinoza, from Eagle Mountain Lake, Texas, received a Mahindra 1120 tractor with a loader and mower, which will soon be put to work on his family's land and in service to his community.
“We are grateful for all those who entered and their selfless contributions to our military, and we are proud to present Richard with a tractor from our 1100 product line – our new, best-in-class sub-compact tractor series,” said Mr. Viren Popli (President & CEO, MAgNA).

Richard, a Marine Corps veteran who served as a diesel mechanic in the 1st Marine Logistics Group, said “I’m glad that my continued commitment to service led me to learn about the giveaway and encouraged my family to nominate me.” He added, “This new farm equipment will usher in a new era on my family’s and neighbour’s land, and I can’t wait to put it to use and start some landscaping projects.”

For Mahindra, the Military Salute Giveaway is more than an event. It’s a commitment. Every year, thousands of military personnel are nominated, reflecting the company’s deep appreciation for their service to the nation. With each tractor given away, Mahindra drives positive change on the land and in the lives of those who have given so much.
