As a former military man, what a great video. The Marines trained some really good snipers. God bless Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney. Thanks again Mark

Rest in Peace, Marine. Thank you for your service. Chas

True Patriot...he protected his Marine family to the best of his ability.

Gotta love my dad's generation they could do almost anything and with a lit smoke hanging from their lip

Semper fi. Patrol those streets of gold, brother.

God bless this patriot Chuck Mawhinney and his family!

Thanks for sharing Mark. So many have given so much of themselves to the protection of others. Always liked this quote, "All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Chuck was one of those that chose to act. Rest In Piece Chuck, a good man.

Semper Fi, Marine. Many thanks for sharing!

Mark, Thank you for recognizing his service. I appreciate what Veterans have sacrificed for the United States of America.

Appreciate all he did for us! And thank you Mark for doing this video for him and his family!🙏🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

I just heard of his passing, indeed a treasure in his life. I've been blessed and honored to know men like him. Protecting others, their country, and the Constitution was their goal. SALUTE, and God bless them all.

When my Vietnam veteran workmate mentor got killed in a workplace accident, real health and safety became a priority. It was very personal for me. You never know who you save.

Thank you for sharing

Rest in well deserved peace Charles Mawhinney. Salute 🫡

Very Interesting , Thanks for Sharing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Salute Marine 😇😊😎

Thank you for telling us about Chuck.

Thanks for sharing the story of this great man.

U.S. Army Vietnam vet here, Thanks for the tribute Mark, my Dad flew 53 missions during WWll in a B-26 Marauder over N. Africa, Sicily, Italy etc. We do indeed sleep safe because of those "Hard men". RIP Chuck.

Thanks Chuck.

Rest easy brother...

Thanks for the heads up on the book, Mark. I ordered one also! Thank you all service men + women for walking that wall!!!

Thank You Mark for posting this. Our service Men and Women are and should be always in our prayers. God Bless them all. Our Country should never forget what these brave people did for us. It Is Called...FREEDOM. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your sacrifices, and for your service to this great Country...

He should’ve been awarded the Navy Cross.

God bless those who have the spirit of defense of the innocent. These Men and Women we all owe a great deal of gratitude to. Thank a veteran when you get a chance.

I hadn't heard that Chuck had passed... "If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines" Semper Fi Chuck

Great video, I had no idea he grew up in your area. I saw the interview about the event at the river he gave . I could tell by watching that interview there was something very special about chuck. Rest in peace chuck. God bless.

Thanks for sharing, i am sure i would not want to talk about being in the war either. Better left barried and move forward.

AWESOME VIDEO Thumbs up. A truly sad but great life of a hero. I'm sure he is in heaven.

Semper Fidelis Chuck, Thank You for your Service and amazing contributions to such a rotten conflict.

Rip hoorah we lived through some times semper Fi

'Chuck' Mawhinney was a great warrior. A humble and respectful man yet, a deadly Marine to those that were the 'enemy'! RIP Warrior, God bless!

When i lived in Humboldt County,i got to shoot in a fun match at qtr mile at qt oil jugs filled w water...aka the can clobber classic. One of the shooters there was Lt Bill Nellist of the Alamo Scouts,he won the match hitting ten straight with his .308,

Thanks Chuck...R.I P. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sounds like a great man rip chuck

I’ve got Carlos hathcock’s book. Marine Sniper One Shot One kill. I’ve also got the sniper Training manual. Those guys were savings 100,000’s of lives.

Mark, thank you for sharing this awesome tribute to Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney. I heard about him many years ago, don't ask me where. It may have come from my daughter's Ex who was also a Marine Scout Sniper during the war in Somalia and the Gulf Wars. I used to have a pretty good size library of the Civil War, through the wars in the Sandbox. I may have read about Mr. Mawhinney in one of those books. My 79 year old Gray Matter isn't too sharp these days. Again, I want to thank you Mark for shining some light on this great Hero. To all who served, in every conflict, I salute you and thank you for your service also. May God's Blessings be upon you and your family.

One thing we were taught at the island and that was every marine is your brother semper Fi

God’s speed Sir.

Thank you Mark. Good words.

Although I didn't personally know Chuck I felt kinship with him as a former marine. I have been in a meloncholy mood since hearing of his passing. A real american hero. Semper Fi Chuck.

Semper Fidelis Sir.

Well said

If anyone wants to see his rifle, it’s at the Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico Va.

Semper Fi Marine

Thank you for paying tribute to Chuck. I met Chuck once many years ago. He was just as you describe. I saw first hand how well he could shoot.

Don't know that it matters much, maybe coincidence, but I've just been putting the finishing touches on a "tribut" 1941 USMC 1903 "Snipers". Been collecting 03s and A3s for 20+ years, stumbled across an original 03A4 that I could afford a few years back, but Unertl's and National Match A1s with Corps provenance cost more than my last pickup, so... I appreciate all those who provided overwatch while I worked, God speed, and go easy, Bro.

Great Video Mark! A fitting tribute. 👍

Semper Fi Chuck... In todays PC society, there are some who would view his being unapologetic as being cold, but there was no reason for him to apologize. He did what he was trained to do with purpose and conviction.

Thanks for sharing this.

American GREATNESS ... my son came home unscathed from his time as a Marine in Anbar not doubt bcs Chris Kyle etc kept up the tradition of CM and the Surge had worked by late 2007

Semper Fi

I find it interesting that most of the gun forums I frequent have little to nothing to say about these early snipers and their weapons.

USMC Commandant Charles Krulak repeatedly emphasized the importance of the “Strategic Corporal”, stressing the point that the entire leadership and logistical hierarchy is there to set up the first level of leadership on the battlefield for victory. True enough! In addition I would humbly submit that a proficient scout sniper is THE Strategic, Operational AND Tactical Individual Marine! S/F RIP Chuck!

A little late, but , Welcome home.

Rest in Peace, fellow Vietnam veteran.

If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by the United States Marines.

PAUL HALE

Until Valhalla Chuck
