Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
If you’d like a nice story to read this Thanksgiving, you can try an article about Durwood J. Smith. The story contains both a jeep and a Thanksgiving memory on the Western Front (see Durwood’s pic below) … do you know how hard that combo is to find?? If not for Roberto Flores, we wouldn’t even have art depicting jeeps and turkeys together!!

Dave, thanks for sharing the link to Thanksgiving On The Western Front. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, the family and fellow eWillys fans.
Thanks for keeping the flat-fender candle lit!
Thanks for the posting the “Thanksgiving on the Western Front”. I have already shared with family and friends. A great read.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Great story, Dave. Thanks.
Hope you and Anne have a great Thanksgiving.
Dave,
Thanks for sharing the great story. Hope you, your family and extended family are all having a bountiful Thanksgiving. We all need to stop and count our blessings and be thankful for what we have. Oh……and I’m thankful for ewillys with my coffee and protein bar every morning !! Think I just heard the turkey popper pop up !?!?…….gotta run.

Thanks for sharing this. Peace to all.

I’m sure we all had a terrific Thanksgiving Day and I have a great weekend planned to follow. But no one had a better Thanksgiving than Dr. Smith. I’m grateful that you shared this story with us. It put me there 74 years ago. We need to know and understand our history, or we will be doomed to repeat it.
Im thankful for living in this great country, grateful for all we have. Hope everyone has a great time with family and friends. Dave thanks for all you do, keeping ewillys going.
