Summary

[edit]
Description

"Let’s Be Friends: Gunnery Sergeant Ernest L. Dolezilek (Canton, Mississippi) tries to brighten the face of this small Vietnamese boy and his young sister. After the children became separated from their mother, a Viet Cong soldier had tried to force them into claiming he was their father as he attempted to infiltrate the lines of the 26th Marines. The children refuted the VC’s claim and the Leathernecks took them to friendly Vietnamese who would look after them until they can be reunited with their mother (official USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Bob Jordan)."
