Cat Eyes-Sniper-Vietnam

[PvtShane]

Future Marine here,

My father served in Vietnam.

Does anybody recognize the code name "Cat Eyes"?

He was a sniper in the Marine Corps.

Edward L. Gardiner

As far as I know he went by Lloyd, though.

As you can imagine he doesn't talk much about it, He!! he's probably told me the most outside of the men he served with.

I hope that I'm posting this on the right forum!

With respect,

Poolee, Gardiner

You know who your dad was with...??

Cat's eyes most likely was a reference to the old "Starlight" scope, gave off the greenish glow of a cat...

Hello Marines. I've posted about this before but I'm looking for any more information out there. My father was a sniper in Vietnam.

Edward Lloyd Gardiner

I know that his codename was Cat Eyes.

He later was in the Army with SOG.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
