**Two Local Veterans Gifted Cars in Colorado Springs on Veterans Day**

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — In a heartwarming tribute to military service, two local veterans in Colorado Springs were presented with vehicles on Veterans Day as part of a nationwide giveaway organized by Progressive Insurance. The event, held in honor of those who have served, was part of the company’s annual initiative to support veterans with reliable transportation.

Spencer Proctor and James Neila, both veterans, were the recipients of the generous gift. Proctor received a Toyota Sienna, a vehicle he described as a life-changing surprise. Reflecting on the moment, Proctor shared his astonishment, saying he could hardly believe he had been selected to receive a car.

The giveaway was part of Progressive Insurance’s “Keys to Progress” program, which this year provided vehicles to 99 veterans across the United States. The initiative aims to recognize the sacrifices made by service members and to help ease the transition to civilian life by addressing transportation challenges.

In Colorado Springs, the presentation of the vehicles brought together community members and supporters in a show of appreciation for local veterans. The event served not only as a practical gift but also as a symbolic gesture of gratitude and respect.

Progressive Insurance has sponsored the car giveaway program for several years, partnering with local businesses and nonprofit organizations to locate veterans in need and provide them with refurbished vehicles.

As the community continues to celebrate its veterans, both Proctor and Neila now have a new set of keys — and a renewed sense of support from the city they call home.
