Seven U.S. Army soldiers, one Army Reserve soldier and two Veterans are representing Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which begins today.
The Army Marksmanship Unit (AMU) is well-represented with both returning medalists and newcomers alike aiming for gold. Notably, AMU’s former member Vincent Hancock, a five-time Olympian, has a chance to make history.
If Hancock secures his fourth gold medal in Men’s Skeet, he will become the first shooter to win the same individual event four times and will join the ranks of Carl Lewis and Michael Phelps as one of only six athletes to achieve this milestone.
Here’s a look at the military and Veterans representing Team USA:

God Bless you FOLKS .. Your PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION are paying off. May you stay healthy and safe. I am a Navy vet so really didn’t aspire as you young men and women have done. I will begin looking for your events.. ENJOY the moments as they come.
