Don Brown Paints Gun Barrel, 26 August 1968

Renovation: Sergeant Don L. Brown, 23 (Locust Grove, Georgia) paints a gun barrel now decorating the front of Security Headquarters at Marine Aircraft Group 11 [MAG-11]. The barrel, unearthed during a building project at the group has been identified as an old English naval gun piece used by the French during their period of occupation in South Vietnam (official USMC photo by Lance Corporal Jim DeWitt).
