American Perseverance

GM recently ran an ad during the Olympics that featured a rather beat up truck with melted headlights. If this doesn't seem like your typical car commercial, that's probably because it's not.

Craig Monahan and his Chevy truck were at the South tower on 9/11. When it came time to leave the scene, now in a much more disastrous state than when he arrived, Craig's truck was a little worse for wear, but fired right up when he turned the key. A change of a tire was all that was needed to drive the truck back to the firehouse after the tragedy.

This article from the Daily News is a good piece about how one truck and one man embodied the spirit of American perseverance.
