A bit of background. My mother\u2019s younger brother carried an M1 Garand as a member of the 103rd<\/sup> Infantry Division during WWII. His unit arrived at Marseilles, France, in October 1944 and pushed its way across France into Germany. It was there my uncle lost his life during a campaign near Muehlhausen while repulsing a German attack.<\/p>\n

He was buried in Epinal American Cemetery near Dinoz\u00e9, France. On the other side of the family, my father, and his father both served in the U.S. Navy during wartime. My grandfather was a pharmacist\u2019s mate aboard a ship during WWI and was issued a Colt Service Revolver. My father was a skipper on a PT Boat during WWII and was trained on the M1 Garand rifle and the M1911A1 pistol.<\/p>\n
