Gen. Patton's Flag Post/Canned M1 Garand's

eclancy · 07-15-2008, 10:09 AM

Gentlemen,
This post is for many of the new guys. The first post is Gen. Patton's SECOND written post on what he thinks of the M1 Garand Rifle. The second pic is a cutout of how M1 Garands were canned. I hope you enjoy.

A word to the WISE for CONGRESS:
"You cannot invade America. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass." Admiral Yamamoto

A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to read this data. I hope you have learned a little of the history of the M1 Garand.

ps Could use some hits. I hope to have both sites update in soon. Have fun hope you enjoy and learn.

I have a few of those cans in my basement. Boy were they heavy. I needed a furniture dolly to get them down the steps. And they won't fit in my gun safe because they are too big. And then I woke up.

Long-term storage, I believe.

Nope. That ruins the collector value.

Note the adviso on the cans: "Refrigerate after opening."
