Speaking of history, time does fly, and with it, the first hand stories and experiences of the veterans who actually drove these WWII Jeeps during WWII and Korea. I started realizing this over the past two decades as the ranks of veterans who operated and maintained these vehicles thinned out.

Hello Joe,

Yes it is always good to remember the days past and all the great people we have known from the WW2 Generation and everyone else.

I hope you are doing well, and I am glad to see you posting again, with your unmatched experiences with Jeeps !
Your posts are always inspiring and informative !

I hope you have a happy and healthy summer, in the Great State of Maine !!

Best Regards,
Ray
