In remembering the fallen and survivors of war on this Memorial Day I thought I'd post a work of Cajun Bob barking orders under fire on a combat operation in South Vietnam 1968. He was a member of my unit (Delta Company) 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. After we fought in the battle of Hue City during the Tet Offensive 1968, I never got to see many of my fellow grunt brothers again. This is dedicated to them and their families. Semper Fideles. This work is based on a Life Magazine photo.
