Gary Stading - Vietnam - Click on photo(s)

GAS-15 Gary Stading (CA, KIA 25 April 68) on the beach at Chu Lai. It's very likely he had a ROK (Republic of Korea) soldier or maybe civilian, who ran a business on the beach, take and 'colorize' this photo. Note the Combat Infantry Badge (CIB), as well as the 'California' and single stripe on the cap. Note from Doc Norman: I was present when this photo was shot. It was taken by the Battalion mail clerk. Can't remember his name, but he was an oriental guy, heavy into photography. I wann call him Phil, but that dosn't feel right. It was colorized by somebody cause the clerk only shot B & W. He wanted to be a news photogrpher when he got back to the world and all they do is B & W. ... Doc
