This Monday is not just a holiday. More than one million men and women have given their lives in defense of this nation, and we should all take time to remember their sacrifices.  But, for carrying our bravest to battle, we owe some of our freedoms to the US auto industry as well.

From 1941 to 45, Ford, GM and Chrysler built the Jeeps, tanks, planes and rifles used to defend the free world. Feeling especially patriotic, the duPont REGISTRY team has chosen some of our Top Ten favorite American cars, each the best of their class, to send our own salute this Memorial Day Weekend. We urge you to take time to thank a veteran. Remember to lower flags to half-mast. And, if you drink, please don’t drive.
