2 Oahu veterans gifted free vehicles ahead of Veterans Day

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Two Oahu veterans received free vehicles Tuesday as part of a nationwide program aimed at helping former service members regain independence.

Progressive Insurance presented the vehicles to William A. Noh and Alexa N. Holloway during its 14th annual Keys to Progress giveaway event in Kapolei.

Noh, an Army veteran, is currently living in transitional housing after experiencing homelessness.

He relies on public transportation and hopes a vehicle will help him attend job interviews, medical appointments and secure stable employment.

Holloway, who served in the Army National Guard from 2013 to 2014, currently relies on rideshare services to get around.

She said reliable transportation would help her return to work and continue volunteering in her community.

The vehicle giveaway took place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, at U.S. VETS in Kapolei, ahead of Veterans Day.

More than 100 veterans nationwide are expected to receive vehicles through this year’s program.

Since launching in 2013, Progressive’s Keys to Progress program has donated more than 1,300 vehicles to veterans and their families.
