15-025 Garand Picture of the Day

[Snafu]

This will be my last posting on POD
I have enjoyed working with my long time friend Mark on this
I also like watching what others catch and the participation in discussions of the photos
The one that sticks out in my mind was the photo that contained the members father
I have found it increasingly difficult to find new material
My interests have changed and I have become more of a shooter than collector

Thanks for the pics, always conversation provoking...

Thank you for the pictures. I always enjoyed them and learned from them.
The pictures that showed a dead U.S. serviceman always did something to me. A life ended so we in the United States can live in freedom. We, in the United States, owe so much to all servicemen and women past and present.

Snafu, from all of us here at the milsurps team we would like to give you a huge thank you for all your hard work. The photos have been wonderful to view and the discussion brought up by them has been equally enjoyable. Best of wishes to your new endeavor I know you'll still be around so this is not a farewell just a huge thank you!

This may be about as good a place as any to post these. M1 Garand come full circle in the hands of Japanese troops as occupation was winding down.

I wonder how the veterans felt using the US rifle, how they liked it...some of those guys carried their rifle from 1936 onward, straight through.
