2014 Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition Honors The Troops
Ahh Memorial Day, the time to start getting ready for summer. If this past week has been any indication, it’s going to be a hot one in New York for the next few months.
The whole weekend, as people kick back in the pool and poke at their meat on the barbecue, it’s a time to reflect on those that passed to give us the opportunity to enjoy such peace and relaxation.
The military lineage runs deep in Jeep. It’s how the line came into being. No other vehicle can really trace its beginnings to being so ingrained in military use.
Jeep is celebrating this history by having a special edition added to their line-up in honor of our troops, the 2014 Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition. It wears its support for the troops proudly.
The outside is painted in a either red, white or blue. And it comes with a giant star printed right on top of the hood. That same star logo is also on the front seats. Oscar Mike is printed on the front door (it’s military speak for “On the move”). Other features include 6-speed transmission and full 4×4 capacity.
That’s not the only way the Freedom Edition of the Patriot is giving back. For every one of them sold, Jeep will in turn donate $250 to a military charity.
Jeep has always supported the troops one way or another for the past 70 years. It’s never lost sight of that connection and this memorial day continues to honor those that have served.
Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge wants to remind those in the military about our Military Incentive Program.

Jeep Honors Our Troops With Super Bowl 2013 Ad
I think it’s pretty much an unwritten rule that everyone knows there’s three parts to each Super Bowl that the public pays attention to. First is the most obvious in the actual football game. Second is the half-time show which, in this year’s case, was to see Beyoncé prove she does rules the world. Last is for the commercials. It’s gotten pretty ridiculous the past few years with most of them being leaked to the web days prior to the big game. That still doesn’t stop everyone from picking and choosing the ad that stood out the most to them.
Chrysler has enjoyed the spotlight the morning after the Super Bowl as they tend to be the one chosen for favorite commercial. Last year had the infamous Clint Eastwood and his gravelly voice telling America that it’s just half-time for the country. Before that was Eminem supporting the Built in Detroit series of commercials that would go on to be a huge hit. This year everyone was talking about Jeep.
The commercial named Whole Again was narrated by the one and only Oprah Winfrey. Combined with majestic images of our service men and women returning home from war and a sweeping, dramatic score; There’s definitely an expression of admiration for the whole of the United states, both civilians and those who fight to protect them. Like the previous commercials, Whole Again is able to strike an emotional chord to those who watch and the audience is responding very positively.
The story doesn’t end there, however. The ad highlighted Operation SAFE return for US personnel coming home after active duty overseas. Jeep will be donating up to $300,000 to the USO (United Services Organization) as well as part of the campaign.
You can join in on this effort. By tweeting #joinOSR on Twitter, visiting Yahoo’s homepage, or by going to Jeep Operation SAFE Return’s website, Jeep will be donating $1 to a fund that will give our returning troops assistance with employment and incentives to purchase new cars. Jeep will also donate to this charity based on vehicles sold. That’s $250 for Jeep Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited, and the Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition.
Make sure you follow up with any one of those ways to give back to those who have given so much. They deserve all the support they can get from a grateful country. Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge salutes our troops on the front lines and off.
