CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – A Charlotte veteran is getting some help getting around.
Barry Anderson, who served in Vietnam, lives with a disability and needs transportation to get to and from appointments. It was a bit of a struggle for him until now.
Insurance company Travelers partnered up with the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides Program and Gerber Collision to gift Anderson a refurbished car, which he received on Tuesday.
