MAN REUNITED WITH RIFLE FROM HIS YOUTH WITH HELP FROM THE CMP
By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
Pat Farmer hadn’t felt the weight in his hands in almost 60 years. After five decades, the memories flooded back as his fingertips grazed the wood of the stock and gripped it tightly. It was a piece of his personal history, and the history of his country, that his eyes hadn’t seen since he was a teen – and now, it’s a relic he’ll be able to keep for the rest of his life.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
