Two Honolulu veterans got free new cars at a Punchbowl cemetery ceremony, a feel-good story for veterans struggling to get back on their feet.

• Progressive Insurance gave away vehicles to more than 100 veterans nationwide, including two in Honolulu.
• One recipient, an Army veteran, is currently in transitional housing after experiencing homelessness.
• The giveaway is tied to Veterans Day and aims to help veterans regain independence and mobility.

Outlook: More veterans are expected to receive similar support as the program continues ahead of Veterans Day.
