Son presents his dad with the exact M1 Garand issued to him

In 1961 Dad enlisted in the Marine Corps and was issued this M1 Garand. A Springfield Armory M1 Serial Number 1380819. Dad has been looking for it for over 50 years.

He's a really good son!

And that's a hell of a video.

Thanks for posting, Ron.

That was actually featured on a TV show awhile back. It was a pretty good show.
