  5. A Marine veteran's home in Oceanside has gone solar after a gift from a veteran-owned solar company, Semper Solaris. "When they called us, I was shocked.

"The old adage, 'It's better to give than receive' is so true because on a day like today, this is my own personal parade here because I get to watch the smiles on these people's faces and everyone's lit up and glowing and just enjoying their day."
