1950 US Jeep Willy Tribute M38, in dedication to Our Fallen and Wounded Heroes

"And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb and beauty weeps for the brave."
Joseph Rodman Drake



"May we never forget the soldiers who paid the price for our liberty with their death. They should never be forgotten.

The memory of their spirit should live forever.


This is our tribute to the fallen soldiers and those who have been severely injured while serving and those presently serving in our military."

                                                                              Caroline

We owe much of our freedom to the development of the Jeep for it revolutionized history.  Without it many wars might not have been won. Their short wheelbase and narrow frames powered by the "Go-Devil engine" allowed the military to proceed with force.  

Prior to using the Jeep only mules and donkeys were used to transport equipment to out of reach areas where a full 4x4 could not go.

Jeep Motors knew if the US Government returned home with the military vehicles that Jeep created for the war efforts the market would be flooded with  ex-military vehicles giving no reason for anyone to purchase a new Jeep, truck or bull dozers if an ex military vehicle  could be picked up for less. They feared that this surplus of used vehicles would cripple Jeep Motors, so they strategically developed a strong clause within their contract which forbid the US Government to return home with any vehicle their company had manufactured for war efforts.

After WWII orders given to destroy all Jeeps used in military service.

Immediately after the war thousands of military vehicles were disposed of.  
​There were orders given to destroy these military vehicles by any means. They were burned, buried
​and crushed for scrap as well as driven and dropped into oceans all over the world.

After the Korean War military Jeeps met the same demise.  Many of the frames were ordered torched and cut in two.

After WWII Jeep went into production with a civilian jeep known as the CJ. In the beginning all Jeep Willy's were basic army jeeps with the military features removed because their military versions were too primitive for modern production.  The civilian market became accustomed to motorized windshield wipers.  

​Unfortunately our soldiers had to fight in the pouring rain and manually move them back and forth for them to see where they were going.

This collection contains a series of 10 love letters written by an American soldier to his wife in 1952.

​



‘My Dearest Cupcake,
 
...'Since we are suppose to be out in the field you ought to see what we are eating.  We got K and C rations for a week.  Fellows in Korea said they got better food over there while fighting even.  This is what we had for lunch:
One piece of spam 1”x 2”, a single biscuit, a piece of cheese- same size as spam, and one slice of pineapple
That was lunch, dear.  Supper I got just as much.  I sure am glad I received that food from you.  At least I won’t starve this week.
 
...'Well, I’m off guard now and I sure am glad.  I’m dead tired, miserable, and if it weren’t that I’ll soon be coming home I’d just as well go AWOL.’

The CJ series was indeed the better version of their military brothers because they were fitted with an upgraded transmission, a powerful 4-cylinder engine dubbed by the GI's as "The Go Devil." The civilian Jeeps had an external fuel cap and featured a 7-slot grill with large flush mounted headlamps, whereas the military series had a 9-slot grill with much smaller recessed headlamps. The civilian model was  given heavier leaf springs and stronger axels, which gave a higher payload and better torque. Vintage Jeeps were constructed to last forever which gave them the astounding reputation for reliability and low operational costs.
