Summary

[edit]
Description

"A Different War: Sergeant Major Charles C. Awkerman (Mount Union, Pennsylvania), battalion sergeant major of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines [1/7] takes another drag on his stogie as he thinks back to other wars he has seen. The things that he has seen in the last few days have made him proud of today’s Marine, for his Leathernecks showed the fighting spirit of the ‘Old Corps’ as they killed 224 enemy soldiers in two days of bitter fighting during a recent operation (official USMC photo by Sergeant A. V. Huffman)."
