Santa Rosa dealership honors veterans families after fires
When people in the North Bay fire zone use the phrase, "Sonoma Strong," they do not do so lightly.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- When people in the North Bay fire zone use the phrase, "Sonoma Strong," they do not do so lightly.

The words echo from blackened open spaces to the remains of Coffey Park to every corner of the county.

Manly Honda business manager Beejan Roohian heard about veterans and descendants of veterans who had lost honor boxes of flags and medals.

He, and the dealership, set out to make it right.

"To me it is an honor. They gave their lives to protect this country so why not do something form them," Roohian said.
