Today marks one year since the non-profit Welcome Home Military Heroes began honoring veterans on Central Coast.
The Arroyo Grande-based organization started the tradition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

They needed something positive in their life.â
In the last year, the organization has honored 156 veterans from Cambria to Santa Barbara with vehicle salutes. The veterans range in age from as young as 20 to as old as 107.
