Yes plane crash
Posed picture... when you inspect an M1 you grab it higher and harder, and the trooper drops his hands the instant you touch it (or a split second before). Continue the motion across your front and down, stick your left thumb in the clip well to reflect light off the nail into the bore, look down the barrel from the muzzle. Bring it up to horizontal and inspect the top from front to back like you are eating an ear of corn. Spin it and inspect the bottom the same way, then rotate it again and hand it back exactly as you took it.
Reminds me of Harry Bellafonte but he would be older than when that picture was taken maybe.
Old Day-oh is way too left to carry a rifle.
I know, but who is it? Frank Robinson maybe?
No Frank Robinson is still alive

My brother said its Roberto Clemente
Instead of playing winter ball in Puerto Rico during the 1958-59 offseason, Roberto Clemente served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. He spent six months of his military commitment at Parris Island, South Carolina, and Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. While at Parris Island, Clemente received his basic training with Platoon 346 of the 3rd Recruit Battalion. At Camp Lejeune, he was an infantryman. The rigorous training he received helped Clemente physically by gaining ten pounds of muscle and ridding him of long-time back pain. Having served until 1964, Roberto was inducted into the Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.
