    Default Fantastic!

    My grandson collects these lego figures............

    On November 4, 1919, John Garand began work as an engineer at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts. An immigrant from Canada, Garand was hired to develop the next generation of military weaponry at a time when the world was already at war. By 1932, Garand filed a patent for a semi-automatic rifle which was adopted as the M1 and soon became the envy of the world during World War II. Amazingly, Garand offered his patent to the government for free, and never profited from the more that six million M1s that were produced. Today, Springfield Armory National Historic Site preserves the more than 150 years of history of site and the work of engineers like John Garand.
