With the bulk of the battle over, Marines still had to search villages for VC and their supplies. The villagers were bystanders, observing us as if they were watching a play.

This shot is poor, is poorly scanned, and you cannot see the detail. In the shadows of the overhanging roof on the left, a Vietnamese family calmly watches the Marine radio operator kneeling in the center of the photo.

 

 

In memory of LCpl Robert Guy Brown, KIA on Operation Texas on March 21, 1966. LCpl Brown had been the acting artillery FO for Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines. He had just turned 19.  Semper Fi.
