Jeffrey Intemann
Took
the Willys to the 75th Anniversary of the Jeep in Toledo Ohio on Aug
13th. When we showed up for the parade I was asked what year the Jeep
was and I said 43. They then told me to go to the front of the line
because I was the oldest Jeep there. Then I was asked if I could give a
WWll Vet a ride? Then I helped Robert (a 93 year old Navy Vet) and his
friend Mary Jo into the Jeep and off we went the first in line in the
parade! Talked to Bob the whole time and found among other things he
served in the Atlantic area. Always want to find out what our Vets did
and pass along what the "Greatest Generation" has done to protect all of
our freedoms for the future. People asked me what the NRG meant that
was on my flag cover. After talking about the group and they looked at
my license plate no one could believe I came all the way from California
for the show. Yes retirement is fantastic! I may not have mud on my
tires but I hope all in the NRG could give me a pass on only having rain
on the tires and on the Willys!
