**Headline: Two Colorado Springs Veterans Gifted New Cars in Nationwide Veterans’ Day Event**

**COLORADO SPRINGS, CO** – Two local veterans were honored for their service in a significant way this Veterans’ Day, receiving the keys to new vehicles as part of a nationwide giveaway organized by Progressive Insurance. Spencer Proctor and James Neila, both veterans from Colorado Springs, were the local recipients of the gesture, which was designed to express gratitude for their military service.

The event was part of a broader national initiative that saw 99 veterans across the country awarded cars to provide them with reliable transportation. Here in Colorado Springs, the presentation served as a powerful local tribute, directly impacting the lives of two of our community’s heroes.

For recipient Spencer Proctor, the moment was almost surreal. He was gifted a Toyota Sienna, providing a new measure of freedom and stability. Reflecting on the experience, Proctor expressed a sentiment of disbelief and gratitude that many can relate to.

“You hear about car giveaways and people winning cars or like you see like. You know, the opportunities to win cars,” Proctor said. “Even though you see it, you still don’t think it’s real.”

The giveaway was organized by Progressive Insurance as a tangible ‘thank you’ to the men and women who have served the United States. While details of the second vehicle awarded to James Neila were not provided, the impact on both local veterans highlights a community commitment to honoring its service members.
