Lee and I enjoyed that. The look on his face was priceless. Thanks Brooke.
Here's another one about him too:

That was priceless! Have you read his MOH citation? He got it by using his flamethrower on Iwo.
Wow.... penny for his thoughts.

Ya, I did. He was and still is a vibrant, wonderful man and soldier. He lit up when that was in his hands. Ya, penny for his thoughts indeed.

He was a "Checkerboard" (99th ID) infantryman/sniper.
They helped to consolidate the northern shoulder of The Bulge eventhough they suffered heavily.
Amazing shot!

Both videos were great! I finally got to watch them because I have been limited to me work computer on a trip that doesn't allow streaming videos. The gentlemen with the flame thrower sure remembered his old stance, didn't he? And hitting a man sized target at 1000 yards? That's not technology. That may make for consistancy, but it takes a marksman to use it properly (breathing, weapon control, etc.) Truely amazing! And the infantry museum is great too! It's just down the road from me.

That was really something, I bet they both felt like they were 19 again.
Bless them.
