Like their human counterparts, the dog SEALs are highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by Sea, Air and Land (thus the acronym SEAL).

Finding images of (our) military’s sniper/sniper teams doing what they do best is a challenge. They can’t give away the tricks of their trade by sharing them online, but last night I got lucky and found a few featuring the US Navy SEALs. There is at least one (sniper) in each of the images, I’ve spotted them myself and have shown you where they are via the answer key.
Have fun. Let me know if you spot any others! Thank you. ☺
I found a collection of the Cathedral in Cologne Germany, 1945. I think all of these images belong together so today they’re all image of the Day, collectively. Enjoy.
I hope you enjoyed these. The images can be found on the National Archives website.

The photographs in this gallery focus on a calamitous March 31, 1965, helicopter mission; Burrows’ “report from Da Nang,” featuring his pictures and his personal account of the harrowing operation, was published two weeks later as a now-famous cover story in the April 16, 1965, issue of LIFE.
