Sniper:
A sniper is usually a highly trained marksman that shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel. Snipers typically have specialized training and distinct high-precision rifles. In addition to marksmanship, military snipers are also trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation techniques.

VE Day
 Forgotten In The USA

Today is the day that almost all of Europecelebrates as Victory Day! It is the date that Nazi Germany, the Third Reich, officially gave up and surrendered to the Allied forces under Gen. Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower. In the former Soviet Unionit is a BIG holiday. In England, Belgium, etc, it is a major holiday but here in the USAwe seem to have lost sight of this historically memorable day! My question is…WHY?
We had a great many men that died making this happen. We had a great deal to do witht the success of the Allied victory. We have only a very few of the veterans of WW-2 left alive and they have not forgotten this important day!
Join me in celebrating this day!

It's been a while since I have posted. 
I have since made a life change.  My wife and I are now retired.  This has been a very interesting change in our lives.  Should have more time to post now.
