Adding video to channels (Happy) - requested by MarineGunrock.

The voiceover in the video mentions "at 84..." not 86. Also if he was discharged 70 years ago, that would make him 16 (or 14) when he was discharged. Not likely that a 16 year old would have been in all those battles as a veteran sniper, even if he lied about his age and was a really tall 10 year old when he enlisted.

Ok, so I made a typo on the age. He was discharged in 1944, it is 2011 now, that's 67 years, or "almost 70". Looks like he was 17 when he left the army.

so did some more research... That museum opened in June 2009, and the episode of "Impossible Shots" that featured Ted Gundy was aired Feb 17 2010, so it was probably filmed late 2009. So he was 84 in the video, but is probably 86 now - so you could use either

That would make him born in ~1925. He was in the Battle of the Bulge (12/16/1944 – 1/25/1945) so he would have been ~19 at the time.

His tour of duty was cut short cause he lost his right leg by a German shell. (I couldn't even tell in the video that he was an amputee). Apparently he also marches in every Memorial Day parade.

(I upvoted the video before previous comment btw)
