# One provided by Ed Grantham 66/67, This one is of me at Duc Pho in 1967. That big hill behind me is the one that Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock made a one shot kill at over a mile distance with a .50 cal that had a scope on it. Never knew about it until I read the book about him. The man had to have extraordinary hand-eye coordination to get off one shot with those butterfly switches on the gun.

Ed Grantham 66/67, May 1967, Da Nang ariport. Waiting to catch "the bird with the golden tail" (Continental Airlines) to fly to Okinawa and then home. That might be me in the lower left corner but I am not sure. Photo is too old and dim. |
