I wish I had the Outdoor channel at home, my cable provider wants enough for it that I can't justify it, got to go up 3 full packages and $100 a month...

Re: 86 year old WWII SNIPER

To me, this is very worth reposting. It is men like this that have built the foundation for snipers and marksmen today. May God grant him peace the remainder of his years and his legacy live on.

I do admit that video brought a tear to my eye.

Re: 86 year old WWII SNIPER

My pops is still one of the greatest shots I know. He was a sniper instructor for state police and I am on my way to instructor level. Have my basic complete. Need advanced and instructor level. Old guys can shoot. I am thoroughly convinced the older you get the better you get. Maybe it's because they don't give a shit about all the little shit. Just a thought.
 
Re: 86 year old WWII SNIPER

I know this is several months old, but, Thank You!! My grandfather was in France in 1944-1946? and refused to talk about it, but always told me to NEVER "join up." He hated war and what it did to him, and making it out of WWII, I can understand that. But I watched him cry for the Marines in Beirut in the 80's, and he'd sit for hours with the 1000yd stare.

I sent this link to my father who called me with tears in his eyes, and said it reminded him of his dad. I don't know the story, and at 40 years old, they still won't tell me. My dad said he, and his brother, made a promise to grandpa to never tell the stories. I know I can research his service record, but out of respect for the wishes of the greatest man I ever knew, I do not.

So Thank You, again!
