When Unbroken hits theaters all over North America later this month, audiences will get an opportunity to witness the inspiring story of one of America's greatest World War II veterans. A former Olympic runner turned enlisted soldier when America entered the war, Louis Zamperini wound up spending the final years of the war in a Japanese prison camp after being captured by the Japanese Navy. His story is one of true toughness and with the shared connection of World War II it seems fitting that the Jeep brand should pay tribute to him in the way they have.
The Jeep Wrangler's identity is rooted firmly in the war-time vehicles known as the Willys MB. These would eventually evolve into the "CJ" or "Civilian Jeep," which in turn laid the foundation for the vehicle brand we know and love.
The Jeep brand has come a long way since then, the Jeep Wrangler is still one of the toughest vehicles available and an icon of American ingenuity. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the most-awarded SUV ever and the other models in the Jeep lineup have all earned impressive accolades as well.
To learn more about the life of Louis Zamperini we recommend checking out Unbroken when it hits theaters later this month, or reading the book on his life of the same title.
