Christmas in Korea 1954

Christmas in Korea 1954

Hey Sgt Grit,

I found this pic of me (on the left) and 2 buddies celebrating Xmas in Korea in 1954.  Notice the 'utilities' with the old WWII herringbone pattern worn by Marines in those days.  Today you can't tell a Marine from a sailor, soldier or airman with the camo design covering up the service designation.  Almost makes you wanna cry!
I guess I'm considered "Old Corps" by todays crop of gyrenes.  Check out the containers we're using to hold our brews.  No glasses available out in the boondocks.
 
Happy New Year and Semper Fi to all.
