I recently completed watching Battle 360, a multi-part series on the History Channel about the famed World War II carrier, the U.S.S. Enterprise. Pam Webster of Enterprise Rent-a-Car gave me the heads-up about the series and am I ever glad that she did. It was fabulous.
Enterprise Rent-a-Car was founded in 1957 by Enterprise by Jack Crawford Taylor, father of current CEO, Andy Taylor. Jack served as a fighter pilot on the U.S.S. Enterprise during World War II. The History Channel series did a very nice job of tying the men and women of Enterprise Rent-a-Car together with the proud legacy of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
For history buffs, Battle 360 was a fabulous trip back in time with plenty of computer generated graphics, historic film footage, and recent interviews of veterans. For those of us fortunate enough never to have been in such circumstances, the show was an important reminder of the incredible sacrifices made by an incredible generation. Over and over again you hear these men and women state that they weren't heroes; they were just doing their jobs. Well, they were heroes and because they did their jobs as well as anyone could ever hope we enjoy liberty.
The men and women of Enterprise Rent-a-Car give the world of college recruiting great gift after great gift. They are always there for us as sponsors, organizers, and more. They also gave the country a great gift by helping us to remember the U.S.S. Enterprise and its vital role in our history.
