I came across some old medals I had earned while in the service. There was the usual, Good conduct Medal. However I found two medals from the firing range. One was Marksman, the other Expert. I looked in my military papers and it should have been expert. Only one other soldier did better shooting than me.

As I look back in my service time, I am guessing I would have been a good sniper. It isn’t the type of job I was really seeking, but I would have done well.

Gold Star Families are next of kin of a member of the United States Armed Forces who lost his or her life in a “qualifying situation,” such as a war, an international terrorist attack, or a military operation outside of the United States while serving with the United States Armed Forces.
