NEXEN Tire partnered with the Purple Heart Foundation to select a worthy recipient for their customized Dodge Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack. NEXEN, whose color of choice also happens to be purple, worked with the foundation to find an American Hero to award their car to. Meet Retired Marine Corporal Steven Diaz, he was injured in 2005 by an IED explosion while serving in Iraq. The explosion and shrapnel caused Diaz multiple wounds and the loss of his left eye. While still recovering from his injuries which include PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and a seizure disorder, Diaz co-founded Hidden Wounds, an organization that helps “heroes battle the invisible war at home.” Way to go NEXEN!
