Shine On Salute Honors Husband‑and‑Wife Veterans With 146 Years of Combined Service
On Thursday, May 28, Shine On Automotive was proud to present a Shine on Salute to an extraordinary pair of northeastern Colorado veterans — Brigadier General (Ret.) Bren Rogers and Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Dave Donaldson — a husband and wife whose combined 146 years of public and military service reflect a lifetime of dedication to their community, their state, and their country. Ron Smith, owner of Shine On Automotive, a United States Navy veteran, presented the couple a metal United States flag engraved with the U.S. Army emblem and spoke about the importance of showing veterans the respect and gratitude they deserve.
