Skip, Those are some good videos. Betcha it was a country boy doin the shooting with the 50 cal.
Here is a link to my photos of his medal and coin if you want to see them.
Also if you are squeamish don't watch the 2 videos I have on this page as they are graphic. They don't have anything to do with my sons injury, but are from Iraq.
Scroll down once on page....

That soldier in the video sure knows how to use "Kentucky windage"...

When I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations I have a good day
The only thing I could ask for is MORE video like that!!!!!!! God bless Our people over there!!!! Prayers for a quick recovery for you son!
Never get on the wrong end of a 50 cal barrett. I used to be interested in 50 cal snipers and the barrett is pretty much the grand daddy and still the standard. Those vids tell the story, but they have a range up to 2200 yards. Thats 1.2 miles. Doesn't matter where you hit with it. You nick your target and its in pieces. Go get one, they are only 8 grand for the civy model, or the Accuracy International AW50 AI .50 cal for 13 grand. The barrett is also one of the meanest looking guns ever.

There is just something about being able to hit a target at over a mile that makes me want to try it.

Skip,
Thank you for posting your updates and the pictures of your son's purple heart.
We hear all the time of the son's and daughter's that are serving our country. I, for one of many, am so thankful to them.
I can't imagine how it must be to be SO close to the heart of the realness of all of it. To have to suffer the emotional and physical pain of all of it.
I will continue to keep your son and family in my prayers.
It's wonderful to hear he is winning yet another battle.
"Be Ye Fishers of Men" You catch them- He will clean them
Good Luck to your son!
Good luck to your son Skip.
