I enjoy the TFS. In fact, occasionally I like to print some of the articles to be able to review them in the future.

Whenever we come back in from the field it’s always a good day when “The First Shot” is in. I drill the guys in the fundamentals – many of which I learned and fine tuned at CMP matches – and it comes back in spades out here when it really counts!

Finally caught up with the October '06 story: A Rifle For Shifty. It was simply one of the best things I've read. As someone who had two uncles in combat in WWII, one air corps and one infantry, I will forever believe those men were heroes of the first echelon. Anything any of us can do for any of them is simply the least we can do.

The story of the M1 rifle that was presented to Shifty of the 101 airborne makes me proud to be part of the shooting community. Thank you for adding it to the TFS.

Ms. Elder, just a note to say that there are few things I look forward to receiving by email, and the Shooting News publication is one of them!
It is always a high quality publication with a nice mix of text and image, about interesting things and folks.
Keep up the good work!

PS: I forwarded it to all my shooter friends.
This story about the "Gift for Shifty" is one of the best stories I have read so far....An example of selfless appreciation for the WW2 vets that helped make this such a wonderful country...God bless our past and present troops.

The story "A Rifle For Shifty" really hit me. What a wonderful tribute to one of this countries nearly forgotten heroes.
Kudos to all who were involved with finding and presenting him with "his" rifle. Thanks to those of you who shared the story.
Regards,
John S.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Rifle for Shifty. We owe our WW2 veterans a debt we can never repay. I wish I could provide all of them with a similar token of appreciation.

Following the investiture Secretary Harvey hosted a luncheon in the Pentagon. in honor of the new CASA.
Mr. Sieben was accompanied by a number of members of the Minnesota Air National Guard, from which he had retired at the rank of Major General. Charlie Maddox and Judy Legerski, CMP Chair and Vice Chair, were also in attendance. They have each served as CASAs for a number of years and have been awarded the honor of CASA Emeritus status.

Mr. Sieben served his state in the Minnesota House of Representatives from 1971 though 1985. He was elected Speaker of the House and served in that capacity from 1981 to 1985.
The new CASA presently serves on the Board of Directors of the Civilian Marksmanship Program as an officer, and on the Boards of the Regina Medical Center and Starbase Minnesota.
