It is estimated that between 1,500 to 2,000 WWII veterans die every day. Many of them were trained as motor pool and aircraft mechanics in the service and came home to open shops. We owe a great deal to these veterans because not only did they defend our freedoms, they helped to build the auto care industry we know today. If you know of a WWII veteran that was a mechanic or shop owner, ask them about their experiences both during and after the war before it is too late.
