🇺🇸 MEET JACK — A JEEP WITH A STORY TO TELL! 🇺🇸

Among the special entries in this year's Kern River Valley Christmas Parade will be a beautifully restored 1943 Willys MB military Jeep affectionately known as "Jack."

Jack is owned, restored, and will be driven in our parade by KRV local James Caraway, a U.S. Army veteran who served from 1995 to 1998. James restored this Jeep in honor of his father, Virgle "Jack" Caraway, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, from 1942 to 1945.

When James first acquired the Jeep, it was in rough condition. But knowing what it represented, he was determined to bring it back properly. Rather than rely on reproduction or aftermarket parts, James spent several years traveling and tracking down original parts to restore this piece of military history.

The result is a wonderful tribute to both a father and a son, two generations of Army service, and a father's legacy carried forward.

This November, Jack will have another special assignment: transporting our Christmas Parade Grand Marshal - WWII Veteran Fernando "Ferny" Hernandez!

We're honored to have James, Jack, and this very special piece of American history joining us for the 48th Annual Kern River Valley Christmas Parade.

📅 Saturday, November 28, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM
📍 Lake Isabella Boulevard

🇺🇸 Thank you, James, for sharing Jack's story with our community!
