Military AutoSource has been proudly serving the U.S. Military community overseas since 1960. To mark this milestone, MAS wanted to do something worthy of the occasion.
The mission at MAS has always been to provide an exclusive car-buying program with unique benefits built for the needs of military life OCONUS. This year, Military AutoSource went big and gave away a brand-new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport.
It was a way to give back and say thank you to the military community who has trusted MAS for more than six decades.
MAS kicked off 2025 with a worldwide giveaway celebrating its 65th Anniversary, drawing more than 25,000 entries by the end of September. U.S. Military and DoD personnel across Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, and Puerto Rico entered for a chance to win.
Drumroll Please. And the Winner Is…
A Marine serving out of Camp Hansen in Okinawa, Japan received a phone call asking him to stop by the Military AutoSource location.
The MAS team sat him down and asked him to read what was on the TV. With a subtle hint of disbelief, he read the words:
“I won a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport.”
The excitement on his face said it all.
Congratulations Gunnery Sergeant Timothy Porter
Gunnery Sergeant Timothy Porter and his family were truly grateful and never imagined they would become the winner of the Military AutoSource 65th Anniversary Giveaway.
Celebrating This Milestone Moment
Military AutoSource teamed up with the Exchange and AFN to make it a celebration to remember.
With his family by his side, Gunnery Sergeant Timothy Porter was presented with the keys to his brand-new car. Exchange Pacific Region Commander, Colonel Beck; General Manager, Okinawa Exchange, Kristine L. Cowley; Services Business Manager, Rutchel C. Williams were in attendance as well as the MAS Pacific Area Manager, Sal Salvucci; Regional Sales Manager, Mark Austin; and the sales team at Military AutoSource, Camp Foster.
It was a great day for all, celebrating not only the 65th Anniversary of MAS, but the winner of the Ford Bronco Sport Giveaway.
Giveaway Highlights
AFN also joined the celebration, recapping the event.
Sal Salvucci, MAS Pacific Area Manager, spoke about the decision to give away a vehicle in celebration of the company’s 65th Anniversary.
“We don’t just sell cars, we’re a member of the community”
Gunnery Sergeant Timothy Porter shared his thoughts as well:
“Being overseas, there’s a lot of programs that are out there that help service members, especially Military AutoSource. It’s great to have them in Okinawa.”

Final Thoughts
It is not every day that a company gives away a car, and it is certainly not every day that a company celebrates a milestone as significant as a 65th Anniversary.
This giveaway represented more than just a prize. It was a moment of gratitude, recognition, and celebration for the U.S. Military community serving overseas.
Congratulations again to Gunnery Sergeant Timothy Porter.
