I had the honor and privilege to serve with a veteran of that campaign in the late 70s/early 80s. Even as a veteran of Nam he was a hero to us young Marines. I later served on Okinawa and saw some of the places my fellow Marine fought over.
This is a wonderful photo. We are strong, we are unyielding but we are still just human and there are few things more tragic than the loss of a comrade whom you have walked the roads of hell with.
I know.
Thank you.

That is kind of you to say but it is they who are far more deserving than I.

Terrible scene. But the colorization is beautiful, especially on the skin, uniforms and vegetation.
