(Original Caption) An Hoa, South Vietnam: Wounded Marines sit in front of the altar of an An Hoa Church after their unit came under a Communist mortar attack 5/16 while trying to reach the besieged American outpost at Con Thien. The church, located two miles south of Con Thien, was being used by Leathernecks of the 1st battalion, 9th Marines, to house their dead and wounded as the push continued to break through the Communist ring.
