Jessie The Jeep Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 For the last couple of years, Jack, myself and a few others have taken our vehicles out on June 6th to remind people of D-Day. Attached are a couple of pics I've taken from the last two years D-Day runs out. If you can, take your vehicle out or park it on the drive and keep reminding people that freedom isn't free.

Jack Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 YOu are a good man Steve and was going to get this tomorrow :sweat: We have done this every years since the start of HMVF and the people taking their vehicles to work or around the 'block' on D-Day has grown year on year. It is just a little reminder to the public and little thank you from us to them who where there. Make the effort - it is very rewarding.

Joris Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If only I could park in a secluded space at work, I'm stuck at a public parking garage. Not a place to leave my beloved MV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi all, took the Jeep (1942 Ford GPW) out as I often do on this special date for a spin around Newquay. Won't be taking it to work, though, as a) it wouldn't be insured and b) I don't finish until late and don't want to risk another night in a lay-by (coil went last year, no spare -have now!-, took the "4th emergency service" 6 hours to come and recover me.) The picture is of the Jeep, this morning, at Newquay's War Memorial. Of note is the recently added plaque commemorating one of the service personnel killed in the Nimrod crash in Afghanistan, 2006. -Roger.

Bodge Deep Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Didn't get to the truck today darn it! Heard it mentioned on the news at about 6am and flicked onto the Paul O'Grady Show (god help us) who was interviewing a ATA Girl and a Spitfire Pilot... That was about it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25 pounder Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Remembering D-Day , Practical impossible to stall a military vehicle outside , when you're not around it , impossible to take it to work , but lest we forget is D-Day , that date (and many more) is in our hearts and in our minds , we feel "connected" with them who were there , as I spoke to several elder people today , some I had to remind , others still had a"fresh memory "about it. Bad weather over here , one vet told me , it was much worse then !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
