This is just a short note to our US based readers to enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and don't forget the fallen heroes of wars past and present. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day to honor the 110,000 troops killed in action during the American Civil War. In 1967 the final Monday of May was declared a federal holiday for all soldiers who have died in service.
We tend to keep things lighthearted around the pages of DT, but today is Memorial Day in the United States, a day when we remember the fallen heroes of wars past and present. The holiday was officially assigned to the last Monday in May during the 1960s, but started after the US Civil War and was known as Decoration Day (a day to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers).

Memorial Day was yesterday, so why not post another cool military ride. The CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) truck was a military vehicle built from pre-war designs created by various Canadian manufacturers for British Commonwealth ally use. The CMP was essentially a larger version of the US Army Jeep -- a communal design built by anyone with a foundry and sheet metal die capability. Of the various versions made only a few were produced for wireless set repair specification as the repairmen found the vehicle too small for the required job.

What better car to feature on Memorial Day than an army green 4x4 ready for the next war or a camping trip with your kids. Either way, the Pinzgauer High Mobility All Terrain Vehicle is a family of 4X4 military
vehicles built from
1971 to 2000 by Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in Graz, Austria. The Pinzgaur was named after a breed of Austrian horse and will climb hills like it has 4 legs, all the while returning decent fuel economy for a "military" vehicle. Find this 1983 Pinzgauer 710K Radio Truck

You don't really wish someone a Happy Memorial Day. Blessed doesn't work either...you could go with something like have a Safe Memorial Day, but it still sounds flat. I think the preferred greeting should be -- Remember Memorial Day, because that is what we are tasked with doing. Remember the fallen heroes of wars past and current.
Happy Memorial Day to all readers of the Daily Turismo - we hope you are spending your time with family or at a local event honoring those who have died in the service of this country we call home (to our numerous readers in Tajikistan - we are talking about the USA). What better way to celebrate the US than with a classic American car from the time of economic expansion after the Great War.
