Vetknight.com - Gift For Veteran

"The expression on the medic's face.
Eyes that speak.
Still so young.
And then having to go through this.
A bloody war, a cliche.
But the young ones learned fast.
Became adults overnight.
And left their childhood there.
The lived day by day
Because tomorrow you could be dead."

"Men of the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade pause for a moment's rest after the Battle of Hill 875. American troops went to the top of Hill 875 after some of the most vicious fighting of the Vietnam War. Dak To, South Vietnam. November 23, 1967.

Step out of the comfort zone. Some of you are unaware of just how amazing you really are.

THE SWEDISH K

During the Vietnam War, the US Navy SEALs used the m/45 extensively. One of the gun's qualities which appealed to the US Navy was that the m/45 can fire almost immediately out of the water (over the beach). It also saw use by CIA operatives and advisers. In US service it was largely known as the "Swedish-K" or "K-Rifle". The US Navy was so impressed by the m/45 that when Sweden embargoed the export of weapons to the United States in 1966, Smith & Wesson was given the task of producing a copy. This was designated the Smith & Wesson M76. However, by the time the M76 was ready for combat deployment, the US Navy interest had largely evaporated.[10] Many of the m/45s used by US forces and agencies were devoid of markings, implying clandestine use ("sanitized").
