The text which accompanied the photo: “An anonymous photo of typical 2 d Battalion 173d Airborne grunts who had just slugged it out with the enemy in 67/68. This was a rare instance when men had a few moments in the field to sit together in a non threatening moment in what otherwise could only be called a brutal existence of continuous fear and anxiety.” Photo submitted by Roger Dick, C/2/503d
