Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Businessinsider.com: “A Florida GOP congressman sent his colleagues inert grenades as a welcome gift to the House”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
A GOP congressman from Florida gifted his colleagues inert 40mm grenades to celebrate being named to the House Armed Forces and Foreign Affairs Committees.
Rep. Cory Mills on January 20 sent a letter welcoming his colleagues "to a mission-oriented 118th Congress," along with a dummy grenade. Mills said he was "eager to get to work for the American people" and was honored to serve on the committees.
"In that spirit, it is my pleasure to give you a 40mm grenade, made for an MK19 grenade launcher," Mills wrote. 'These are manufactured in the Sunshine State and first developed in the Vietnam War."
The letter to his colleagues assured them in a postscript that "these Florida manufactured 40mm grenades are inert."
"Per the letter, the grenades are inert, and were cleared through all security metrics," Mills' spokesman Juan Ayala said in an email to The Washington Post. "I just wish they tagged our official account."
