Vice Admiral Willis Lee was a half-blind sharpshooter for the US Navy.
As a kid, a homemade bomb blew up in his face and wrecked his eyesight.
He wore glasses the rest of his life, and the Navy tried to reject him multiple times over it.
But the man could shoot.
In 1907, he became the only American to ever win both the national rifle and pistol championships in the same year.
In 1914, he deliberately drew fire from three enemy snipers in Veracruz to expose their positions, then picked them off at long range.
In 1920, he won 7 Olympic medals, 5 of them gold.
Decades later, in 1942, at the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, Lee took his battleship into a nighttime slugfest against the Japanese.
Using radar and 16-inch guns, he sank the battleship Kirishima and scattered the rest of the fleet.
The victory helped turn the tide of the Pacific campaign.
