I called my uncle tonight to wish him a Merry Christmas. (Yes, that's right, I said Merry Christmas!)
Years ago, he was a member of the South Dakota National Guard and they shot M1 Garands at the time. He told me one day they were on the range and his was the last squad out. No one had hit the 500 yard silhouette all day long. His company commander took him aside and told him, "I want you to hit that target." He did. 8 out of 8 times. He says he can still remember the SN of that weapon.
So the other day he got a chance to pick up an M1, so he did. It was built by IHC, with whom he was employed for many, many years before they shut down.
He says the old IHC brings back many warm memories for him.
I believe it does.

Merry Christmas to all!
