A Rawlins man who takes veterans to the VA Medical Center in Cheyenne twice a week is the Disabled American Veterans' driver of the year. Interstate 80 between Rawlins and Cheyenne is 1 of the worst stretches of road in the state when bad weather hits. However, Joe Lucero has never canceled a trip because of the weather or any other reason during his three years as a volunteer. The Vietnam veteran was a truck driver and says he never was in an accident during his 18-year career on the road. He has logged more than 75,000 since becoming a DAV van driver. Lucero will be honored by the DAV next month.
