This Veterans Day, we salute all brave members of the U.S. armed forces who with great pride and strength have endured sacrifices to preserve our freedom. As we take a moment to acknowledge all members, we would like to express our gratitude to Audi Beverly Hills team members and veterans, Kyle Stokes and Christopher Woodson.
Originally from Lake Forest, CA, Stokes joined the United States Marine Core and went straight to basic training after graduating high school. Stationed in 29 Palms, CA, Stokes was relocated to Okinawa, Japan where he conducted operations in five Southeast Asian countries. Through this experience, Stokes rapidly acquired a whole new level of maturity and transformation in thought process he largely thanks the military for. In reflecting on the most enjoyable part of being in the service, Stokes states, “People don’t realize how good we have it here in America; it was an honor to serve our great nation”
Christopher Woodson, originally from Torrance, CA, joined the U.S. Army in 1990. Stationed in various locations including Oklahoma, North Carolina and Korea, getting to know various people of different backgrounds was the most enjoyable part of being in the service. Throughout his experience, the armed forces played a large significance in developing discipline, work ethic, attention to detail and helped shape his interpersonal skills. A Gulf War veteran and recipient of multiple honors and awards, Woodson left the Army ranked as a sergeant after 8 years of service.
Currently as part of the Audi Beverly Hills team, Stokes is going on two years in Business Development and Woodson over a year as a Service Coordinator. On behalf of Audi Beverly Hills, we thank Kyle Stokes, Christopher Woodson and all men and women of the U.S. armed forces for their service!
