      RECOGNIZING FEDERAL AMMUNITION ON THEIR 100-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM EMMER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 27, 2022

  Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an American 
institution in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District, Federal 
Ammunition, on their centennial anniversary.
  On this day in 1922, Charles Horn purchased the Federal Cartridge and 
Machine Company in Anoka, Minnesota. Since then, they have been 
manufacturing ammunition which has helped American troops fight for 
freedom in every major global conflict since World War II, and law 
enforcement officers protect our communities. Just recently this year, 
Federal sent one million rounds of ammunition to the Ukrainian people 
to support their fight for freedom.
  Currently, Federal employs more than 1,500 people in Anoka. Since the 
company's founding however, Federal has employed thousands of 
Minnesotans and Americans across the country, producing billions of 
rounds of ammunition.
  I want to congratulate the entire Federal Ammunition team, past and 
present, on their 100-year anniversary and thank them for their 
commitment to Minnesotan and American ideals.
