Oh my goodness, lady! This story hit very close to home for me, as my father was a "secret" WWII sniper...my older brothers knew about it, but it never appeared in any of his records, and he never told me, his youngest child about it. He never talked to me about his war experiences, but he talked with one of my brothers, and he used to take them shooting. He was a scarily amazing shot...could take the bole off a cactus at 1000 yards! He was also a paratrooper, and could hit moving targets easily...so, yeah. I miss him to this day, even though ours was not an easy relationship. I still loved him. Thank you for an incredible story.
