O'Neil's Legacy & The Legend of The Sacred Sword

by Mark Corrigan

Overview

Thought history some men build legends without really trying. While others who thought they were great pass through this World hardly noticed. This is a story about two such men who lived centuries a part, yet their ideas came together yo give rebirth to the Legend of the Sacred Sword of the Vietnamese King Le Lio who expelled the foreigner who had enslaved this people.
There would not have been a Legend of Captain Michael Patrick O'Neil if the men he taught how to become expert Snipers did not pass on what they learned from Captain O'Neil to others. O'Neil's Legacy was not only how kill the enemy on the first shot but how to survive on on the battlefield to kill their enemy countless times. This story deals with one of Captain O'Neil's first students from the first 8th Army's Advanced Marksmanship Training Class in South Korea. This story is based on a real Pys-war program of the CIA used in Vietnam.

About the Author

I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin and raised in the Town of Granville which no longer exists. I graduated from Granville High School and the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. I took a Regular Army Commission after graduating as a Distinguished Military Student in ROTC. I served in South Korea in a HAWK Air Defense Missile Battery before called upon to teach Advanced Marksmanship in 8th Army. I developed the concept of using Sniper Teams to control the same area as a US Army Battalion on line and helped to design the XM-21 Sniper Rifle used in Vietnam. I commanded a Hercules Missile Air Defense Unit in Union Lake Michigan, when I went to Vietnam on my "official" tour I Commanded Headquarters Company of First Field Force Vietnam. I was the Public Affairs Officer in 20th NORAD Region until I resigned my Commission on April 29, 1975 which is the day Siagon fell to the North Vietnamese. I formed Harpers Ferry Arms Company that made Civil War and Revolutionary Reproduction firearms, uniforms and equipment. Using my international contacts that made these reproductions I expanded into making other products for clients and imported them through James River Imports and Development Corporation. During President Carter's years I could not import things cheap enough to keep these companies alive. Year's later my relationships with overseas Companies brought me into the Tobacco business and eventually into trying to help Cambodia become a modern country with major projects in Electrical Power, Oil and Gas Production, Fertilizer and Concrete Plants and the reclaiming of the land as part of the Cambodian Veterans Rehabilitation Program. As Virginia American Management Corporation's Executive Vice President I was within days of signing these agreements with the Cambodian Government when President Clinton who was bribed my the Communist Vietnamese Government, illegally used the North Carolina Federal Court to stop me. For the detailed true life story about all these things I suggest that you obtain a copy of my Book "What Price Justice" Published on Smashwords.com.
