Welcome Back SFC Adam Troxel
When Holly Troxel’s husband, Sgt. First Class Adam Troxel, returned from his previous tours with the Army, she did her best to always surprise him with something.
However, the surprise that Adam Troxel received after his nine-month long tour in Kuwait this time cost a little more than a watch.
Holly Troxel decided to get help from Marietta’s Classic Glass Corvette Club to restore her husband’s 1980 red Corvette that he traded his Bronco for last January.
It took a while for Adam Troxel to recover from the shock because he thought his wife took the car to get the brakes fixed and an estimate on a paint job.
“(Holly Troxel) was on a limited budget and since I was on the board, I was able to bring it to the board of directors for a great project for the Corvette club and giving back to someone who is fighting for our country,” said Scott Oliver, a member of the club who helped coordinate the restoration.
Adam's first ride was to a car show held in his honor at the Kennesaw Hooters.
