For Veteran's day..........
I know this is a tow vehicle forum so I thought in honor of veterans on Veteran's Day I would share what I have found lately.
Much has been said about Detroit lately, much of it not in the positive. If it were not for Detroit, things in the middle part of the last century most assuredly would have been a whole lot different......and not for the better.
When we remember Veteran's Day do we ever take time to remember those who served on the Home Front? You did not have to take the oath, and pull on a uniform to serve your country. All over the US in WWII, in every little hamlet, town, and city, factories built goods for the war effort.
In every one of these factories was the real threat that saboteurs could attack causing injury, or death. Thankfully this never happened. Also on the home front is the family that is left behind by the soldier/sailor/airman/Marine. They serve too.
When you reflect today remember the "woman behind the man behind the gun".
Here are a few videos that document the contribution that GM, Ford, and Chrysler and their civilian workforce made to the war effort in WWII.
Frigidaire
Victory is our Business
Tank Development at GM
Women on the Warpath
Ford builds the Jeep
Assembly Lines of Defense
I would like to thank everyone who served their Allied country for the cause of freedom, and liberty.
If you are a US veteran that went to Vietnam I bid you a heart felt "Welcome Home".
