November 1965 — the jungles around Da Nang echo with the distant crack of gunfire as a squad of Marines moves cautiously through the tall grass. The air is heavy with heat and tension, every sound magnified by the unknown. Their faces are young but hardened, eyes fixed ahead, rifles at the ready. The thunder of distant fighting rolls through the hills — a reminder that the war is always just over the next ridge. #VietnamWar #USMarines #1965 #DaNang #CombatPatrol #FirstToFight #GhostsOfTheBattlef
