I think might have been taken at the same time my grandfather was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 5th marines. He was shot on October 26th, during Operation Prairie, near the DMZ. He survived, but was paralyzed from the waist down.
Anyway, I have a few photos (from Life Magazine) of him in Vietnam (he's the chaplain in the photos), but I'm not sure they're of the same time period. I'm trying to identify who else is in these photos with him.
