The Little Jeep Who Couldn''t Beep was inspired by the M151A2 Army jeep that my veteran husband is restoring. I decided to give the jeep the name Marty M.U.T.T. as Army jeeps are actually referred to as a M.U.T.T., which stands for Military Utility Tactical Truck.

Marty M.U.T.T. was once a mighty military jeep who carried soldiers around the country of Vietnam, but after all his hard work in the Army, he was banged up, dusty and broken. As happened with many other army jeeps, he was cut up and thrown aside to rust.

Marty M.U.T.T. thought everyone had forgotten about him as he ended up alone in a cold, dark shed. He had tears coming from his headlights and was so sad that he couldn''t even beep his horn!

Find out what happens to Marty one ordinary day when someone rescued him.

A delightful story of restoration that gives hope to young and old alike!

The Little Jeep Who Couldn''t Beep was inspired by the real-life story of Sgt. Stephen Williams who served in Vietnam in 1969-70.

Note:  Steve''s memoir, Nine Pairs of Boots in Vietnam was published in November of 2020.
