“What feels so good about this program is truly giving back to those who sacrificed so much for us,” said John Murphy, Progressive Claims President. “This is a chance for us to make things a little easier, and then to hear the stories afterwards about how they’ve put this new transportation to good use.”

Aside from the vehicle, recipients also do not have to worry about maintenance for a year, as well as insurance for six months.
