D-day battle rifle comes home

I thought I would share a touching story of a D-day battle rifle and its homecoming 70+ years later. I can only imagine how they felt coming face to face with their relative's rifle.

This kinda story always hits a soft spot with me. I wish every milsurp I own could talk. I would love to know about its story and especially the soldiers that carried it. This rifle is tangent reminder of a lost family member and his sacrifice on the alter of freedom.
