I found this one in a small Veteran's Memorial Park in Broadalbin, New York. Its located right on Route 29 and is a quick and easy waymark. I know its an M-9 cannon and I've seen a lot of these in war documentaries and movies. Other then that I'm clueless about these things. Enjoy the gun and the hooters and remember to have a moment of silence for all of those who fight for what they believe in. Remember, "Freedom Isn't Free". Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
