Bill shared this article about a WWII jeep found in France that was brought back to Luverne, Minnesota. The jeep has become part of a documentary about kids of a paratrooper who were invited to France to ride in the jeep and follow the trail of their father’s experience after landing in Europe on June 6, 1944. The jeep now resides and can be seen at Luverne’s National Guard  Armory.

I tried to locate a trailer of the documentary, but didn’t have any success.

    Nice to see a military vehicle return.
    I’ve been in that general area, nice towns.
    Wiki says there are a couple of veterans museums in the area, so it will be well looked after.
