Description
(Original Caption) 9/11/1965-Qui Nhon, South Vietnam: An old Vietnamese woman folds her hands, as if in prayer, waiting and watching as US Marines sweep through a village north of Qui Nhon. A Leatherneck guards the woman with his rifle as a precaution, she may be carrying a concealed wapon. Most of the men of the village fled when the Marine battalion came into sight, an indication that the area was predominately Viet Cong, leaving women, children and elderly men behind as the "unknown enemy." They often attack the troops unexpectedly.
