Veterans Day Tribute – The Motorcycle That Won the War
During WWII, Harley Davidson produced about 70,000 WLA and WLC military motorcycles for the US Army and their Allies. This is the motorcycle that won the war.
The WLA’s were used extensively by US Troops for messenger and Military Police duties. These bikes were nicknamed ‘Liberators’ in Europe since they were ridden by troops liberating their towns and countries from German occupation.
The best site on the web for the documented history of the WLA and the men who rode them can be found at The Liberator. I highly recommend you check it out. You can spend days going through the pages on this great website.

Tradewell, Sr., plans to carry the signed pledge with him throughout the year as he visits with America’s defenders. Veterans and service members around the world will see your signature and know our nation still cares. Hit the sign the pledge button below.
