SALUTE TO SERVICE: MAHINDRA ANNOUNCES 2025 MILITARY GIVEAWAY WINNER

Mahindra Congratulates 11^th Annual Military Salute Giveaway Winner

HOUSTON, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mahindra Ag North America (MAgNA) today announced the winner of its Military Salute Giveaway, a tradition that honors the dedication and service of U.S. military personnel. On this National Ag Day, MAgNA is proud to announce the giveaway winner is former Marine Lance Corporal Richard Espinoza IV from Eagle Mountain Lake, Texas! Many active and veteran military members entered this year for a chance to win a Mahindra 1120 tractor with a loader and mower.

In recognition of the sacrifices made by active and veteran U.S. military members, MAgNA hosted this giveaway for all veterans, active-duty military and reservists.

"We are grateful for all those who entered and their selfless contributions to our military, and we are proud to present Richard with a tractor from our 1100 product line – our new, best-in-class sub compact tractor series," said Viren Popli, MAgNA President and CEO.

While the 11^th Military Salute Giveaway kicked off at the Armed Forces Bowl in December, Espinoza served as a flag carrier for the game.

"I'm glad that my continued commitment to service led me to learn about the giveaway and encouraged my family to nominate me," said Espinoza.

Today, Espinoza lives with his wife and four children near Saginaw. They are excited to use their new Mahindra tractor at his father's property located northeast of Dallas and offer help to their neighbors.

"This new farm equipment will usher in a new era on my family's and neighbor's land, and I can't wait to put it to use and start some landscaping projects."

As the son of a Gunnery Sergeant, Espinoza always knew that he would join the Marines – the desire to serve ran in his family. He served as a diesel mechanic in the 1st Marine Logistics Group attached to the 7th Engineer Support Battalion from 2006 to 2009.
