O Jeep chegou...

Olá a todos

Gostaríamos de comunicar a todos que, finalmente, após um ano de laborioso esforço de André Koelzer e Alex Gerhardt, temos agora (e desde sexta-feira) o Jeep Willys s/n 174849 DOD 17.9.1942 em nossa garagem, sendo que os primeiros passageiros foram M C Spinosa e Senhora, e Fábio Barato e Senhora. Sendo um dos primeiros condutores, o Sr. Spina.

Durante todos estes dias, os contatos telefônicos com Gerhardt foram de primordial importância para o perfeito funcionamento da viatura. Detalhes do LEGO de adulto, nas próximas mensagens. A primeira viagem ocorreu da Cegonha em Ribeirão Preto, a Jaboticabal, 11.6.2011, 22h30 com baixíssimas temperaturas. Sem capota, com Ana comboiando atrás e sem problemas até Jaboticabal.

Roupa utilizada - parka com liner em lã grossa original de 1944, Olive Drab, com capuz...

Fotos em breve....

Sangue do Brasil Medal

We know an old guy in Araraquara, who was hurt on World War II while fighting with Brazilian soldiers against Axis, in Northern Italy. José Marino has 91 years old, did earn his award but due of a material problem remains today without the "Sangue do Brasil Medal".

Thanks to Milton Basile and his friends, from Sao Bernardo do Campo SP, we are finishing details to a ceremony in Araraquara SP, just to give the medal to Mr. José Marino.

I have some documents at:

Great chances to do that August 22, holiday to remember Araraquara foundation date.

More Movies from Colonna

Mister Marco Cesar Spinosa share with me some videos. These are special because we, brazilians, are on... Check the link, and the correct time to find us during Colonna della Libertá 2011, around Verona(Italy).

We are using two different Dodges 1942, with brazilian flags and old brazilian uniforms from World War II.

Thanks to Giovanni e Lorenzo Sulla, Roberta Minuti e Gabriel Corrado Pontello
