We're Celebrating Super Hero Vehicles And Vitamins! Welcome to April 4, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the spirit of adventure and a vitamin that’s beneficial head to toe. Few vehicles have carved out a place in American history quite like the Jeep 4x4.  It replaced the horse during WWII and helped the Allies turn the tide!  Jeep’s “go anywhere, do anything” ability personified the American Can Do Spirit.  To our troops, the Jeep was second only to their rifle in order of importance.  Maybe that’s why it still inspires record breaking feats like the pair of Jeep Wranglers that summited a volcano of more than 22,000 feet.  Or the Guinness Book holder for the longest parade which included 2,420 Jeeps in Bantam, Pennsylvania.  On Jeep 4x4 Day celebrate the vehicle that was made for great adventures. John: Rose hips, guava, red pepper, papaya, chili pepper…gonna be spicy! Anna: Whatcha doin’ John? John: I’m waging war against colds, lowering my blood pressure and making myself healthier! Anna: …by chopping up fruit? John: Ha Ha Anna. I’m making a smoothie full of vitamin C. It’s good for my skin, it protects me against colds, it lowers the risk of heart disease…this is good stuff! Anna: That IS good stuff, can you make me one too? John: Sure thing! Lemme just get this blender going… Anna: JOHN, WAIT, you forgot… Anna: …the lid John: growling Anna: Good thing vitamin C lowers blood pressure!  We’ll ship some off to Marlo who has a cold today.  Lemme, just….wipe that off your face… I’m Anna Devere and I’m John McClain filling in for Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
