OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A local military family was given a gift today to help jump-start their life together.

Jason Flores, who’s currently stationed at Offutt, was awarded a car today from Progressive’s Keys to Progress program.

Jason says their current vehicle is unreliable.

The couple is also currently long-distance, with his wife studying to get into medical school.

This new car will help them with their plan to move in together.

“This car, we would be able to continue chasing our academic dreams, continue chasing our work achievements we want to go to, and we can all do it together,” Flores said.

The first place they plan to go with their new ride? Jason says he wants to go to a steakhouse to celebrate.
