It is behind a pay wall, so here is the jist of it for those who are not subscribers to the Athletic (it's totally worth it by the way).

He won a Honda CR-V for being voted the All-Star game MVP last year and never collected on it. He heard about a single mother veteran who didn't have a car and relied on friends or public transit. He surprised her by giving her the car.

He is very interested in veterans and their service. From the article:

"Crosby’s interest in the military — and especially his fondness for veterans — could easily go unnoticed. He would prefer not to discuss publicly the many times he has met veterans, either through the Penguins or on his own. Even Friday, he hesitated to have media present for his meeting with Malizio and Maverick; Crosby asked for media to observe from off to the side of the garage while he spent about 20 minutes walking around or sitting in the vehicle with Malizio and Maverick.

A few weeks ago before a game at Tampa Bay, Crosby met with 46 of the 70 living Medal of Honor recipients. Days later, while in Minnesota, he was still talking about some of their stories."

It's a great story if you have a subscription and a few minutes, I suggest you read it.
