Santa at Christmas Party, Okinawa, circa 1960

“Whew! What a busy day old Santa Claus had. The party ends at Camp Whit Beach and he (l/Cpl. Bobby D. Routh, of the First Amphibian Tractor Battalion) sits tiredly beside his snow-white “amtrac” to contemplate next Christmas.”

From the Thomas Riley Collection (COLL/3876), Marine Corps Archives & Special Collections, Quantico, Virginia
