I painted the cloth, he has tucked into his ammo belt, as a US flag . At least I tried to.

Nice work Thomas.
Makes me think of one iconic photo of a bareheaded grunt
moving thru the bush with a small Christmas tree clipped to his 782 gear. Not sure when it was taken or if he was US Army or Marine. With no cover or helmet, probably a soldier.

I thought all marines were special. Nice work on the figure.

Snap, but from Hue. (notice three waterbottles…and this was in the "cold" season.)

I somehow recall a US Army chap complaining that the US Marines could always find a flag to raise. As at Suribachi, the chair on the wall in the Citadel, or the tall flag pole in the Provincial Govt HQ, south of the Perfumed river.
