To all those Men and Woman who laid their lives down for our freedom and to those who are serving this very day, THANK YOU!!!!
🇺🇸
Especially the soldiers who laid their lives down to prop up my freedom to expose people in government committing felonies, but at the same time, those same veterans propped up the right for those same government felons to not only continue with their crimes as I exposed, but those veterans also upheld those corrupt government employees forcing perfect strangers (aka taxpayers) to bear the burden of any harm they do, because that is what soldiers ultimately uphold when they enforce the political opinions of the most corrupt people in society and deprive any victims of justice.
@@brentruss2168 I struggle to find a single event since World War II where the United States military was fighting to defend our freedom. Even with 9/11 and what followed, none of that ever would have happened if the US wasn't responsible for creating Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in the first place.
The military got hijacked by a crooked federal government and their billionaire friends, and good men have been fighting and dying for the prosperity of a bunch of criminals ever since.

For our father our brother our oncle our friends our grandparents or for our neighbors who served:
Thank you for your service wherever for what country they served or where and when they served
And for those who left they’re lives on the battlefield may you Rest In Peace
And for the brave man and woman who are still serving:
May god be with you all and we wished you all to come back home alive and hopefully in one piece your sacrifices will never be forgotten
I like how they used the same handgun for 3 generations
If it ain't broke dont fix it lol

I went in the USMC, MCRD San Diego, in 1987. I served in the Gulf. I carried the M16A2, and the M9 Pistol. I got out in 1993, but went back in, to the USMCR in 1997. In 2001, I had a Stroke, along with two of my heart valves replaced. Right now I'm at Trinka Davis Veteran's Village, Carrollton, GA. I hope to be out before the end of 2021.

@@paddymcgill3974 Ooh Rah!
At least he knows memorial day isn't About getting a good deal at the store. The American flag doesn't fly in the wind, it flies from each and every last breath of people protecting what it stands for. That is what memorial day means.
Totally agree with you. I loved this video, I was expecting perhaps a Spencer, M1792 Springfield and M1 Garand, or a similar combination, remembering those from 3 different centuries of American battlefields, but this was still amazing.
Well said

@@ViktoriousDead what do you mean?
Thank you for remembering that Memorial Day is to Honor the Fallen. Not to "thank those who have served" but to thank those who have made the Ultimate Sacrifice. Thank me for my service on Veteran's Day. Today get on your knees and thank the ones who never came home.
Amen, they are still missed.
Amen nuff said
Truth!!!!!!! Memorial Day is a time to remember the fallen, the true hero's, those who sacrificed all so that those of us who came home can tell everyone of their sacrifice, and what it means. It makes my skin crawl every time I hear "Happy Memorial Day", there is nothing happy about that day!!!!!!!
To my American friends who have served and gave their lives Lest We Forget. From Canada.
Thank you good neighbor to the north.
You were with us Canada in all the wars.
Moment of appreciation for the 1911, been through every war that involved the U.S. since ww1
@@peaceoutbruh7085 it's still in service today, yes it was used in some form (the m45 counts)
Aw, no M14. That's what my dad carried in Vietnam in, I think, '65. May he rest in peace.
Mine also carried one.
My favorite also. The Navy trained me on them as we still had them aboard ship in the late 70s. I think they may be on board ships now.
M14- the rifle that never should have happened
M14 is a great up grade of the M1garand
@@peaceoutbruh7085 what if they went with the FAL?
Happy Memorial Day to all veterans who give their life to defend the greatest country in the world.
@Mugiwara Luffy Anyone who still believes the US is the greatest country in the world is a fool, fed propaganda their whole lives.
The M1 Garand is just on a whole different level. God bless America and bless the families or those who gave all they had for this great nation. Lord deliver us from the trash that seek to destroy us from within.
AMEN

Miss the days of shooting full auto at end of field exercises (FEX). Didn’t want to take ammo back and they let us load clips and offload. So much more fun before they converted to the 3 shot limit. Always loved shooting the M14. First rifle I got my expert medal with.
I'm still jelly that he has a legit M16A1. So cool.
me too
Its john's iirc
Bucket list item....😏
Fuk ya
Yeaaaah lol
Been watching for a while and it never gets old hearing him walk around on the range through all the brass and shells
M1 garands are still used to this day for ceremonial purposes and my school’s color guard an the O3 Springfields is what my school uses for regulation drill. Two pretty magnificent guns
'03
as in 1903 the year
Thank you for bringing out the m1A1 garamd. It was my grandpa's gun in WW2. I loved him and respected him.
My Grandpa too.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row by row, That mark our place; and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below,
We are the Dead, Short days ago We ,felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields,
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,though poppies grow
.In Flanders fields. By John Mccrae.

@@dominicdeluca6378 Found the child, lol

My dad, John Miller co-wrote “The M14 owners guide and match condition instructions” with Scott Duff, but his heart is with the M1 Garand. I think he’s said he has met you before and is a big fan as we all are. Take care sir!
If your dad is around still and is a WW2 boy. Give him a hug for me.
Its amazing that the M16 and AK versions have lasted so long in many modern-day army's. I think everyone should own both!
Big Thank You to all our Vets and there families.
Great to see Hickok45 and John still making such great videos. Thank you to all of our service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have in this country. Good to see all the views from my fellow patriots too keep it up fellas 👍🏻
My father carried the '03 Springfield & a 1911 during WWII as a Marine. He gave me his rifle qualification book from 1937, which was based on the 1903. That made me seek out an original 1903. Finally found one dated 1918 with the original barrel. Have a photo of Dad field stripping it at age 90. Some things, Marines never forget. I asked him if they ever had the M1 Garand in his Raider group. He said they "Appropriated" some off of a Army truck once, but he preferred the 1903.
Thanks for the video and bringing back some fond memories!
Thanks for consistently posting great content. Wish you would've brought out the 'ol smooth as a Krag carbine again. Last carbine produced specifically for the US Cavalry, first US bolt action, first US smokeless powder cartridge, first US full metal jacket bullet. Civilize 'em with a Krag! By the way, instead of '03s, most doughboys shouldered the clunky sticky bolt Eddystone as did Alvin York. I'll never part with mine because the 'ol Navy Chief who did his twenty from '44-63 and I called Dad bought it as a deer rifle as soon as he parted with the USN. Can't say I enjoy shooting it though. Fun fact: I paid $730 twenty years ago for my current Krag carbine and the the seller told me when he was a kid in the '50s you could buy one at the Benicia, CA arsenal for $2.50!
Mr Hickok45, you continue to be one of the best on TH-cam and a true patriot. We appreciate you.

*From **13:40** to **13:43** brought back nice memories.* I fondly remember a certain SSgt who taught me to shoot the M16A1 in 1977, with which I earned a Rifle Expert medal.
In my 20 year military career I, carried the M16A1. M1911A1, M16A2, M9 and finally the M4 Carbine
In my career, I carried the M16A2, M249 SAW, during active duty, then the M4 while in the national guard.
Just retired last November 2020
I’d love to see Hickok review the classic Ross Rifle carried by our Canadian soldiers at the start of WW1, and of course God bless all of the brave veterans who have served across both our great nations!
Man I love the ping of the M1 probably my most favorite sound ever
I like the sound, too. I like it so much, that I have it as my notifications sound.
Going to buy one just for that
I thought that was a sign to the enemy that the US soldier's rifle was empty for a few seconds.
@@R32R38 The enemy hearing Garand ping is a myth. There is no way you can hear it during an actual battle. Also, even if the enemy heard it, it's not like they could just run up to the rifleman and shoot him.
@@R32R38 maybe if that was the only sound your heard on the battlefield lol
You're a true patriot! Thank you and keep the great videos coming.
Thank you for your TH-cam service Mr. 45
As a vet who has lost some very close friends I would like to thank you for the video and kind words. I know some of my brothers would have been very appreciative. Thanks!
My uncle was a WW2 veteran and I have his 03. My most prized possession.
Hickock this isn't lame at all, the veteran community thanks you, great channel, great video, great way to honor the fallen, Semper Fi
All gave some, Some gave all. To all the veterans who went before me, thank you for defending our country so I could after you.

I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🕊🤗🙏
From a Viet veteran, Thank you for this episode.
RIP Gunny.
Salute to Our Veterans. Past, present, future.
It’s amazing how 45 can go from one gun to another and hit the target like he was shooting with the gun all day.
Love the honorable mention for R. Lee Ermy.
I love this guy so much man🥺
Thank you for showing the M1. That war just makes me cry. I grew up hearing the stories of those boys. My Grandpa was in the Navy and had a hard life for the rest of his life.
The Beretta m9 is the most important to me. Saved my life.
I also carried an m16 A3
Approximately 1.5 million men and now women have died defending our country .... Bless you all !! ~~
Happy America day🇺🇸 🎉
let those fallen never be forgotten and ill say it for all of us, we love you hickok your the best grandpa we never had but were glad to have found.
I just watched your oldest videos and there is a huge journey that every TH-camr dreams...really AMAZING, I admire your work 👏👏.
Thank You "us" As a Army Vet of the early 80's the A1 & 1911 was standard...then came the the 92..
Was a big change to go from 45acp to 9mm... But as I was trained...Over come & Adapt...
Let us Remember & Honor all our Fallen Brothers & Sisters !
I gotta find the picture of my grandad smiling with his m14 in Korea
Army 83-86. Loved the low recoil of the M16 and remember the spring/buffer boing after each shot. Liked the carrying handle, but old iron sights can't compare to today's available sighting systems. Carried .45 auto 1911. Got a chance to shoot the M14 in 7.62. Was amazed at the recoil and how heavy and bulky the M14 was compared to the M16. People will be debating ammo selection till the end of time. Thanks for sharing.
In my opinion , I think what makes the M1 Grand so iconic , not the weapon itself , but that famous "Ping" sound
Thank you to all of our Service Men and Women, and God Bless America.
Springfield M14 was used in early Vietnam campaign. It was 7.62 cal. Won’t forget it. The recoil spring flew out of it in practice in 1968 at Fort Benning, Ga. I proceeded to tell my DI that my GUN had broke. Worst thing in the world I could have said!
My M14 never broke on me and kept me alive in vietnam. Semper fi greatest US rifle ever made. We all kept the M14s until they forced us to switch to the mattel toys.
Why is that the worst thing
@@nolife1199 They teach you that “Guns” are for the Navy, only on ships. To the Army or Marines it’s a rifle or weapon. My DI called me things my mama never taught me and made me crawl on hands and knees in front of about 200 other troops when I said it. That’s why I’ll never forget. Let’s be thankful for the ones who didn’t make it back to tell their stories. Happy Memorial Day and GOD bless America.
Thankyou , mr hickok 45 , thankyou all veterans for your service to our great country ! Without you all in your efforts for freedom , we wouldnt be here .
Hickok needs to be on Mount Rushmore. Any questions?
How soon can it be done
Love the video, thanks for sharing and happy Memorial Day to y'all
Granted: the 1911 has staying power!
I still carry one.
Watching from Turkey! This channel is awesome!
I just want to see them all I’m excited
Thank you for doing this . . . and, especially, for the profound sacrifices it commemorates.

Thanks much Hickok, great video as always! I carried a M14 with full auto selector in Nam. She was definitely my best friend! USMC, in country '65/'66.
Is it normal that the Springfield sounds like a little monster canon? Amazing!
If Hockok45 offers a university class about guns and rifles, I'm sure most of us will score really high
The way he explains everything, the gun/rifle, the history of it, and all the little details is really spot on
"Yea, I'm sure it did, as we know war was a quiet place, always so quiet..." LOL
Bravo for Memorial Day content.
My ROTC instructor made a point of firing full auto off his groin to dispel any recoil fears. It was effective. He also made a point of pulling two rounds from the magazines we were using. 20 or 30 didn't matter - minus two. He told us it was to improve reliability. Reason aside, the firearms we used for training didn't fail.
You left out the 30 carbine. But I think I understand why. It was intended to be a replacement for the 1911. Didn't work out so well. Ammo issues plagued it. Not because of the gun or cartridge, but because hot weather deterents were in the powder of ammo being used in minus 20F weather. My uncle and his fellow soldiers kept their ammo under their coats, and they stripped the oil and used graphite lubrication. It worked, but it wasn't a universal approach, so the 30 carbine got an "underpowered" reputation it didn't deserve. Stoner felt that the gas piston system contributed to the poor performance reports about the 30 carbine. That's why he chose direct gas impingement. He felt that direct impingement would counter any issue arising from temperature changes. He was right, but like the 30 carbine, the system was almost scuttled because of poor powder choice. The Army tried to use up the WW2 powder in a system that didn't like that kind of powder. Unlike the 30 carbine, the M-16 survived that initial poor performance by switching to proper powder. Stoner was a man ahead of his time. Or maybe he was just a good engineer who knew what to do to solve a particular problem. Doesn't matter. His name is now engraved in history just like Browning's.
I'd have liked to see the M-14 added in there.
The US saved Australia's ass in WWII. My dad served in New Guinea along side your boys. Forever grateful and thank you so much.

Thank you to all the men and women who have served and didnt come back. I pray and thank the men and women who are still serving today
Greetings from Kentucky , keep on shooting sir although you might need a couple of more shots lol
This is one of my favorite TH-camr! I’ve lived all over Tennessee and it has a part of my life. May God be with the fallen soldiers that sacrificed their lives to keep us and our freedoms alive.
May we never forget the sacrifice made by those who protect the freedom we hold dear.🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
My grandfather was a medic in World War One. The military did not issue them rifles, or even a sidearm. He served with the U.S. Army, Seventh Regiment, New York. A "Thank You" to all our veterans.
"All gave some, some gave all."🇺🇲
I was fortunate to serve. And, I did get to carry two of those wonderful firearms you displayed, a 1911 and an M16. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
God bless all our fallen soldiers and their legacies 🙏
Thank you Hickok! We still respect your soldiers a lot!!! greetings from the Netherlands.
I've always wondered what the next major step in fire arm technology is going to be. Maybe energy based weapons instead of ballistic ones?
I was up in Cheatham county just a couple of weeks ago for a veterans memorial dedication and was surprised and pleased by the size of the crowd.

Thank you to all that have served and continue to serve our nation. R.I.P to all that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country we love you.
bolt, to semi automatic, to full automatic.....and some pistol that went along with all three.
Thank you hickok45, I carried the M16A1 in the Gulf War of 1990-91, as a U.S. Navy Seabee. It was a great rifle for its light weight and of ease of use. Much love to all my brother and sister veterans who have gone from this world. You are not forgotten. (:
Rest easy my fallen brothers and sisters in arms. We'll take it from here.
Until Valhalla
Thanks vets I've known many of you and I appreciate you happy Memorial Day
Why is there already a dislike when there hasn't even been enough time to watch the video?
Edit: Did they put notifications on just to dislike lmao?
Because over-excited Liberals who hate all guns lie in wait. They have alerts set so they can get their aggression fix early. They think a downvote is "Doing Something" and they get a tiny shot of dopamine for their troubles.
Probably an accident but who knows? Maybe someone is really anti gun that they have dedication to subscribe to Hickok just to thye can dislike.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch of angry anti-gun airheads just waiting for this guy to upload so they can dislike and tell Hickok how evil he is for shooting a gun
Retired Army 1SG here! Great video! Love what you do.

Some of the greatest things I learned in life are from men like this, and my respect towards them are astronomical.
Guys like Hickok are a Dying Breed...
I see M1, I click it. I’m a true American, and yes I own an M1
My dad was a Viet Nam era Coastie. Though he didn't serve overseas, their ship was equipped with Garands. He was right handed, but shot left handed. Once in boot camp, they forced him to shoot righty so the clip wouldn't eject in front of his face. As a result, he could shoot from either shoulder equally well. His Garand now resides with me.
