Ep. 96: Scout Sniper Legacy: From Belleau Wood to Brotherhood with Tim Parkhurst

In this episode of Street Tales, we sit down with Tim Parkhurst, CEO of the Marine Corps Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation, to talk about a life shaped by service, sacrifice, and purpose. Tim shares his upbringing, his remarkable 25-year Marine Corps career, and the journey that led him to champion the effort to build the Marine Scout Sniper War Memorial. Along the way, he reflects on his family’s deep military roots, growing up attending 13 different schools, stepping away from the Corps, and ultimately returning to continue serving in some of the military’s most demanding communities. Tim also takes us inside the history and legacy of the Marine scout sniper community, explaining why the program has been disbanded and reinstated over the years, what makes its heritage worth preserving, and how the foundation is working to bring this memorial to life through fundraising and public support. He opens up about the transition from active duty to nonprofit leadership, the role family has played through every chapter of his life, and why this mission has become so personal to him. This is a conversation about legacy, service, resilience, and remembrance—and about what it means to keep history alive for future generations.
