SHANITA:
For a long time, I didn't know if I was coming or going.
VOICEOVER:
Keys to Progress is an annual event to honor and give back to our veterans communities, their families. And we're honored today as Progressive to be giving away our thousandth vehicle since the program began in 2013, so a real huge milestone.
JOHN MURPHY:
What feels so good about this program is truly giving back to those who have sacrificed so much for us. And this is a chance for us to make things a little bit easier.
And then, to hear the stories afterwards about how they have put this new transportation to good use, now they have this opportunity truly to move forward.
CHRIS:
What went through my head is, this is for me? No maintenance, a year's warranty, six months of insurance, it is a measure of hope for me.
ISAAC:
This is going to mean stability for me and my kids. I feel good. I feel like it's a new beginning.
RICK:
It means independence now. It's the perfect vehicle for my family.
SHANITA:
Can I do a little dance? That's what it means. To have someone actually see you is amazing.
It's the greatest gift. It's better than winning the lottery. It's more than just the car. Everything's looking up. Everything's really looking up right now.
SPEAKER 1:
We love it.
SPEAKER 2:
Thank you all so much.
