After more than 40 years of faithful service, the historic Army jeep is being retired, put out to pasture. How do you say goodbye to the end of an era, to the last days of an old friend?
Since 1940, the jeep has stood as a symbol of Yankee guts and ingenuity—a runty little battlefield workhorse that was tough, dependable, easy to maintain, seemingly immune to the indignities of war, and ultimately beloved by all it touched, from foot-weary GIs to four-star generals.
Throughout World War II, the vehicle known officially as the M151 14-ton truck served with distinction on every front, in every branch of the armed services, and with every one of our Allies, including the Russians (who loved it, but couldn't quite accept the fact that it was not made in the U.S.S.R.). Later, it soldiered on in Korea, Vietnam, Africa, the Middle East and many other remote and inhospitable outposts far from home. Along the way, it spawned a new breed of rugged, sporty, off-road civilian vehicles—the ubiquitous 4X4s that are popular today the world over.
