Army Lt. Jonathan David Rozier was 25 when he was killed in
Baghdad July 19, 2003. His son Justin was only a few months old. Justin’s mom had
to make a lot of tough choices; one of them was to let go of her husband’s black
Toyota Celica convertible. She returned the car to Toyota, forfeiting the loan
so she could afford Justin’s daycare. Last August she ran across the car
registration in her desk, and it sparked an idea. What if the car was still out
there somewhere? Wouldn’t that make a wonderful gift for Justin as he’s about
to earn his driver’s license? She posted a plea on facebook and quickly found
the Celica’s current owner in Springville. That’s when Kyle Fox, founder of Follow
the Flag got involved. The non-profit group – with the help of eight generous
Utah businesses – bought the car and fixed it up like new before presenting it
to Justin for his birthday.
