Summary

Description

"A Helping Handing: Marines help wounded comrades to a waiting helicopter to be taken to the rear for medical treatment. The Leathernecks were wounded during Operation Pipestone Canyon, a multi-battalion operation on Go Noi Island, 14 miles south of Da Nang, Vietnam. The operation is designed to open the final portions of Route 4, while at the same time crushing a longtime enemy stronghold (official USMC photo by Sergeant A. V. Huffman)."
