85 years old and on the mark

Posted on 14 March 2011 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

The great Fabrizio sent me this story from the Daily Mail in the UK saying:

I don’t know if I was more edified by the man’s humility or by that of the young soldiers.

85-year-old U.S. Army sniper veteran proves he hasn’t lost his skills as he picks off a target at 1,000 yards

He may be 85-year-old, but when Army sniper veteran Ted Gundy was given the chance to show off the skills he used in World War Two, he proved he could still keep up with the very best.

Here’s the video.

    Hooah! What a shot. Glad to see the Army represented on here, Father. Nothing against the devil dog and squid references of course…

    Very cool! How wonderful that this old veteran still has sharp eyes and sharp reflexes for shooting!
    He was very moved by the honors being shown him! OORAH!
