Mr. Walsh, an F.B.I. legend in the 1930s who joined the Marines during World War II, was still winning handgun awards and coaching Olympic marksmen at 90.
"Mr. Walsh, meanwhile, approached the store’s front with a .45 in his right hand and a .357 Magnum in his left."
"He requested combat duty in 1944, was sent to the Pacific and joined the invasion of Okinawa in 1945. At one point, with his unit pinned down, he killed an enemy sniper at 80 yards with one pistol shot."
Wishing you fair winds and following seas, Col. Walsh. Thank you for your many years of devoted service to our nation.
RIP Sir, you earned it...
There's a spot for him reserved in Valhalla.
A life well lived to be sure.
Godspeed.
I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.
R.I.P. American Hero !
RIP, Sir.
Sad that this is the first I'd heard of him.
RIP. He will be missed.
