The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Corps Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation

105 Years of Scout Sniper History is being uncovered by the Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation !

Today I have Tim Parkhurst on the phone, President of the Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation, and I have to say, this interview was super fun and beyond interesting. The Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation is creating a Memorial to the fallen Scout Snipers from World War I to Present Day. Unfortunately, this Awesome Sculpture will cost $3 Million Dollars so we need to raise a lot of money.

If you head over the Foundation Website which is linked all over this post, you can see the Sculpture Concept, as well as the thinks to help raise money.

Scout Sniper History !

The Heritage Foundation is also very heavily researching our Scout Sniper History. Very little is known about USMC Scout Sniper prior to Vietnam. However we have a robust and organized history going back to World War I, who knew.

Please Help Us Raise $3 Million Dollars for this Sculpture and Memorial, there is an M40 Raffle taking place right now. This one of kind rifle is assembled from parts found that are Vietnam Vintage.

In for a few.

Mike Rowe did an interview with Sabin Howard a few months ago.

400:Sabin Howard—Born Cancelled - The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

What started as a series of short mysteries for the curious mind with a short attention span has evolved into enlightening conversations for the not-so-short attention span. Whether it’s a short mystery, a long conversation, or an audio book, The Way I Heard It is a veritable box of chocolates...

The ticket sales are closed, and I want to thank everyone for supporting the MSSHF and donating to our Scout Sniper War Memorial project! This means the world to us, and when the memorial is finished the families and friends of fallen USMC Scout Snipers will finally have a place dedicated to honoring their loved ones! We're currently researching and trying to identify the names of every single USMC Scout Sniper who was killed in combat from WWI to the last days of GWOT/OIF/OEF, and having those names engraved on the memorial itself. We will never forget these brave men and we will honor the greatest sacrifice that anyone can give to our great nation.

The raffle tickets that all of you have purchased is making this dream a reality, and in a few years we will have a beautiful memorial to honor the Scout Snipers who have sacrificed everything. Your contributions to this memorial project have been substantial, and we could have never raised the money needed to build this memorial without your support and generosity! I hope that someday all of you have a chance to visit the Scout Sniper War Memorial in person, and see first-hand what came from your contributions and donations to the MSSHF. Also, 100% of the money raised from this rifle raffle will be going towards funding for this memorial project!

Thank you, gentlemen, thank you very much for your contributions and donations to the MSSHF's Scout Sniper War Memorial! The MSSHF and I are truly grateful to have such an amazing community here to support us!
