On this episode of Our American Stories, before American Sniper introduced millions to Chris Kyle, there was Carlos Hathcock, the legendary U.S. Marine sniper known throughout Vietnam as "White Feather." Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Hathcock grew up hunting to help feed his family before becoming one of the greatest marksmen in American military history.

Military veterans Colin D. Heaton and Mike Droberg of Forgotten History, along with Hathcock himself via archival audio, share the story of the dangerous missions, sniper duels, and battlefield heroism that made him a Marine Corps legend.
