As a kid, the most anticipated moment of the year is waking up Christmas morning to boxes wrapped in shining paper, full stockings, and a brightly lit tree. But for some children, this just isn’t a reality.

Among the 200 veterans who received free breakfast and gas cards, we saw people who have witnessed the tragedies of war with their own eyes, who walked the beaches of Normandy after D-Day, and who fought in battles we’ve only read of in history books. They put their lives on the line for their nation, going through pain and hardship to secure liberty for generations of Americans. For everyone at Nuvision, it was an honor to host this event in celebration of their sacrifices.

William J. Kull recently celebrated his 100th birthday. Surrounded by friends, family, and fellow veterans from the Huntington Beach American Legion Post 13, he was presented with commendations from the congressmen and mayor. As a WW2 Veteran and former firefighter, Bill’s long, storied life has been marked by heroism, historic moments, and incredible perseverance.

For veteran Matt Voris, service is second nature. His passion for helping veterans burns deep in his bones. As president and founder of the High Plains Honor Flight, he shows this care for his fellow veterans by providing flights to those wishing to visit war memorials in D.C.
