FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE β€” HONORING AN AMERICAN HERO

October 22, 1965 β€” A Sacrifice Never Forgotten

At just 18 years old, PFC Milton Lee Olive III made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Vietnam. When an enemy gr***de landed among his fellow soldiers, he courageously gave his own life to save four others.
For his extraordinary bravery, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
His story reminds us that the freedoms we sometimes take for granted come at a tremendous cost. Every day, our military men and women face dangers, endure hardships, and spend precious time away from their families to serve and protect our nation.
Today, we honor PFC Olive and all who have worn our nation's uniform β€” those serving today, our veterans, and especially those who never made it home.

May we never forget their courage, their sacrifices, or the price of our freedom. God bless our military, our veterans, and their families.

October 21, 1973 β€” TWO Safeties, ONE Player, and a Record That Still Stands!

Talk about being in the right place at the right time β€” TWICE!

On this day in 1973, Los Angeles Rams defensive end Fred Dryer did something no other NFL player has ever matched in a single game β€” he recorded TWO safeties against the Green Bay Packers!

That's 4 points scored by one defensive player without ever crossing the goal line with the football!

More than 50 years later, Dryer's incredible feat remains an NFL record.
Who says you have to score a touchdown to make?

A Halloween classic with a wild backstory!

β€œMonster Mash” wasn’t supposed to be a hit β€” Bobby β€œBoris” Pickett recorded it in under an hour as a goofy Karloff-style parody. Four labels rejected it, the BBC banned it for being β€œtoo morbid,” and then one radio play sent it straight to the top of the charts. The graveyard smash became a real smash β€” re-charting three different times and cementing itself as a Halloween classic.

October 19, 1982 β€” A Name That Still Turns Heads!

John DeLorean made headlines on this day in 1982, but his story is about much more than one controversial moment.

His bold vision gave the automotive world the unforgettable DeLorean DMC-12, with its stainless-steel body, gull-wing doors, and futuristic design.

More than four decades later, the DeLorean remains one of the most recognizable cars in history! And here's the exciting part!

You don't have to travel back in time to see one! The Museum of Automobiles has a DeLorean right on our showroom floor, ready for you to come see it up close!

Come experience a piece of automotive history for yourself at the Museum of Automobiles, located on beautiful Petit Jean Mountain!

Some cars are built for the road β€” others are built to be remembered!

On this day in 1867

To celebrate Alaska’s journey into statehood, we’re offering a special discount today for anyone with a valid Alaskan driver’s license. Show your license at the door and enjoy a little extra savings in honor of the Last Frontier.

History has a way of steering us into new territory β€” come explore the classics that shaped America’s roads.

A LEGEND ROLLS INTO HISTORY!

On this day in 1902, the very first Cadillac is believed to have rolled out of the factory in Detroit, Michigan!

With just 10 horsepower, a single-cylinder engine, and a $750 price tag, this little horseless carriage helped launch one of America's most famous automobile brands.
From a simple runabout to a symbol of American luxury, Cadillac has been turning heads for more than a century!

124 years later, the Cadillac name is still rolling strong!

October 14 has always been a day for horsepower and heart.

In 1947, Chuck Yeager punched through the sound barrier in the Bell X 1 β€” proving that sometimes the only right answer is more speed. And back in 1908, the Chicago Cubs snagged a World Series win that fans wouldn’t see again for over a century… talk about running on low fuel but never quitting.

From breaking records in the sky to breaking droughts on the field, October 14 reminds us that victory comes to those who keep the engine running.

October 12, 1892
A Little History, A Lot of American Tradition

Millions of Schoolchildren Make History!
On this day, 12 million American schoolchildren made history together. Across the nation, classrooms joined in a special Columbus Day celebration by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance β€” though the words were a little different from the version we know today.

It became one of the largest synchronized patriotic moments in U.S. history, reminding us how traditions grow, evolve, and continue to unite generations.

Some childhood traditions stay with us forever!
