January 28, 1968:
"As I walked past the bunker on the 26th Marine Regiment on Sunday, January 28, 1968, two photographers -- Dick Swanson of LIFE and John Reid of Sea Tiger -- asked if I could help them find good pictures. I said, "Come along with me and take some photos of the troops." I had planned worship services, and five Marines attended the first worship services: Ray Isham, Daniel Hobart, Ken Pac (with "Chicago Ill The Best Place Is Home" on his flak jacket), Jimmy Heath, and Charles Fox, all from 2nd Fireteam, 2nd Squad, 3rd Platoon, C Company, 1/26. Hill 1015 is above Pae's head; Hill 950 to the left of my shoulder. Despite very heavy shelling, none of us were wearing our helmets. We were in a different reality, a profound peace in the midst of intense battle."
