M1 FOR VETS PROJECT
M1 for Vets Project began in November of 2005. The idea was to provide a returning veteran from the War on Terror with an M1 Garand, the main battle rifle for the U.S. military during WWII and Korea. Our first M1 was presented on December 24, 2005. Since then, we have presented over 100 rifles, and have 10 being made ready. We have also made it possible for several of our recipients to attend the CMP National Matches in Camp Perry, Ohio, in the Summer of 2006 and 2007. Donations ranged from $1 to entire rifles. Any help is greatly appreciated! Contact J.J. O'shea at J.J. O'Shea's Email .

The "M1 for Vets" Project is not affiliated with CMP, NRA or any large firearms organization. It is a small, grassroots group of shooters and collectors that want to show their appreciation and respect for our young men and women that are serving our Nation. Almost all M1 recipients have been combat wounded, and want to continue to use the marksmanship skills they have acquired. We do not accept self-nominations, but rely on nominations from fellow brothers-in-arms, volunteers working at military hospitals, and prior recipients. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
