Memorial Day 2015

25 May 2015 By admin

We are breaking from tradition this year at Jeepwaves.com. Much of the team is in South Africa at the moment and we wanted to share a remembrance we came across the other day in Cape Town.

The commemorative cross comes from the 1st South African Brigade in remembrance of those “officers and men who fell in action” at the Battle of the Somme – 1916 in WWI. The cross is located at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town which highlights quite a bit of South African military history and their longtime alliance with the US military throughout WWI and WWII.

Being away from home on Memorial Day makes it all that much more important for us to quietly reflect on the sacrifices made by those protecting our freedoms. Jeepwaves.com wants to thank all those who have served, past and present, and especially those who didn’t make it home.

Instead of going out to spend money on a sale today, please consider a gift to your favorite Veteran’s Fund or volunteering at your local Veterans Hospital or Home.

 

LeMay Car Museum

We spent some time up in the Pacific Northwest in Tacoma last week and visited the LeMay Museum: America’s Car Museum. I had personally not been acquainted with the LeMay museum or the family story prior to the visit and needless to say, I was impressed with the scope and depth of the collection.

LeMay, who earned his fortune running a successful waste management company in Tacoma, WA, amassed a collection of approximately 3,500 cars. While only about 350 cars are displayed at the 4 story museum, the collection covers nearly all of the 20th century and virtually every American car make…including Jeep.

Jeep Willys

There was one, lonely Jeep Willy’s on display in immaculate condition. The Jeep story was included in a special placard below the exhibit and referenced the Jeep’s unique tie to American Armed Forces, particularly during WWII. The picture of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in a Jeep highlights the history and importance well. Very cool to see all the cars, but especially neat to see the Jeep featured in such a great collection of classic American vehicles. Jeep Wave!

Memorial Day 2014

26 May 2014 By admin

We simply want to say thank you to all those who have served and perished protecting the freedoms we hold dear in the USA. Please have a reflective and appreciative Memorial Day and be sure to thank a service member for their sacrifice and the sacrifice of those who fought and did not return. Instead of succumbing to discounts, deals, and the like today, consider donating to the Wounded Warrior Project.

 

As is tradition here at Jeepwaves.com…a solemn “Jeep Wave” as tribute from a superhero to the REAL Heroes.

Go Topless Day 2014

Go Topless Day 2014 - Group

It’s that time of year again…to take the top off the Jeep and go for a drive! National Go Topless Day always arrives at a funny time for Colorado Jeepers, you never know what kind of weather you’re going to get.

Go Topless Day 2014 - Jeep Wave Topless

This year, we had 5″ of snow / rain the night before, beautiful sunshine in the morning, and some big afternoon storms threatening the day of, not exactly topless driving weather – but we’re quick with the top up / top down routine by now! As usual, we teamed up with the South Park 4×4 Club out of Silverthorne, Colorado and made it out for our annual Go Topless Day event, the highest in elevation event in the world!

Nothing crazy off road to speak of, but we did get muddy and had a good day in the Jeep. Enjoy the pics and share your Go Topless Day stories with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+
