Age quod agis
I was at the concert in this video.
Milwaukee Summerfest.
The parade was in Cedarburg.

This is a huge loss.
Toby was a great man.
I met him.
I was humbled.
He made me comfortable instead …
Rest in the arms of our Lord.
And I know you are embracing all the children which lost battles but had more time to fight because you, Toby gave them hope.
Your father, is thanking you for flying the flag and respecting the land of the free.

I believe in the long run Carlos Hathcock is the winner of the Vietman sniper wars. Mawhinney may have had a few more "confirmed kills" but Hathcock had many more actual kills. A confirmed kill was determined by 3 people being present ( the sniper-his spotter and a higher ranking person. Most snipers operated either on their own or with a spotter. Nobody wanted a ranking officer tagging along with them. It is estimated Hathcock had between 300 and 400 kills. he does hold the record for a confirmed long distance sniper shot---1.4 miles.
