We were able to find that rifle (1054940) and present it to him in 2009, very emotional. That's Tony Pucci and me with Joe, at one point we all had tears in our eyes.

2 things stand out here A) That Joe Roberts survived Korea B) The rifle survived to come back to its original buddy from that conflict, this is what I feel is places membership to this site far above all the others that try to be what this site is ~ Genuine & Helpful. I congratulate you Bob Seijas for bringing this to us here hopefully Joe got to go out with the rifle and get a deer or cut some paper......AWESOME
