Thanks for the post.

You're welcome.

Funny about the internet. I did a search myself yesterday on Rodger YOUNG and found out all sorts of stuff about him that I never knew before (I only knew what my Dad had told me). I even tried to find a recording of the song that Burl IVES did, but was unsuccessful.

I'm sure that it's out there somewhere. This page has Nelson Eddy's version in .wav and Flash formats.

Every summer, I've got a good chance to fire on Young Range at Camp Perry during the National Matches. I always think of him when I do.

I used to shoot .22 pistol in college for NROTC back in the 70's and did well. I tried .22 rifle, but just never had the patience to get my sling just right, plus my arm was always falling asleep. I've always been a good shot (always expert in the Corps), but never sniper material, I always have ants in my pants and have to move around. That's why I went tanks. Now I just shoot every quarter to requal with my issued 9MM Sig 228 and twice a year with our office Mossbergs...I miss our old Remingtons. Semper Fidelis.
